HARD TO BELIEVE THAT CAR MAKERS ARE PIPING IN FAKE MOTOR SOUNDS
THROUGH THE STEREO SYSTEM .

IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY ?

I AM SURE THAT THE ELIO WILL SOUND JUST LIKE AN ELIO
WITH NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS .

The only word in my book to describe what BMW is doing is "fraud".

Valves in the exhaust are OK by me.

Nope.
Some people pay good money for this effect via aftermarket.
Check out the video on the Soundracer device in a post by Folks:

Remember the outdoor PA speakers people used to have behind their grilles for CBs?
The above is what people would hear, the below is what their mind's eye would think.

To one that used to have real sound…. this is hilarious. To each their own, I guess.

I'm afraid this is probably all that I'll be able to afford.
