Are there any mods done to your car?

If not, some simple exhaust work or tune (I am a Eurocharged fan) could help you out.

Are you saying that the exhaust tone/note changed?

Did the blips at downshift stop?

Any codes being thrown?

Any change in performance?

I believe that the car only blips on downshift in S+ and when driven sorta hard... right? Or am I mistaken?

I'm not sure about the S+ thing, but I was always under the impression the blips and exhaust characteristics liven up when driving harder and you heat up the exhaust. If you're just cruising around in comfort mode it's not happening and that's kind of the point.

So, no, you're not mistaken. A hot exhaust is a lively exhaust.

The car is completely stock
i was under the impression that the car does the aggressive downshifts in S+ also
but in this case nothing at all

i always assumed that the car does this stock and a tune and exhaust work simply make this sound more aggressive


I’m not sure why it won’t do it
when in S+ and aggressive driving, the RMP’s do stay higher but the the exhaust note just isn’t there

2014 E63S; AMS 100 octane ECU dyno tune; EDOK TCU tune; BB intakes; sprintbooster
Try either removing the ecu for 1 hour

or a battery pull for 1 hour

then start her up and only drive aggressively in S+

OP -- Do as others have suggested. Just unplug the battery for an hour but you also have to drive the car pretty hard and heat it up. Obviously let it warm up first, then get on it a little, and it should bark at you.

Have you ever been able to achieve the sound you want / anticipate? Or are you just assuming that it should bark and snap and haven't heard it yet? If you haven't heard it yet, drive harder.

I’m not sure I understand the rev matching comment. Our MCT’s rev match on a downshift - are you saying they don’t or that the OP doesn’t have an MCT?

OP my 2016 only burbles and pops on low speed deceleration, not on a downshift. Can make it pop on occasion on a high rev in neutral as well. Not sure if that answers your question.

Mine isn’t there all the time either. Happens usually when I’m in S+ and I’m beating on it. If I’m in S+ and doing regular driving it rarely barks.
