My 340 (maybe not having some kind of package?) had about the same sound in normal and sport before the mod. I think it still does. The roads around me are so crappy, and I take it so easy that I'm rarely in sport. Unfortunately, unlike audi or porsche, you cannot just get the throttle response or better steering by pressing sport, you get stiffer shocks as part of the package. I do rarely get to some country roads or highway stints where I leave it in sport.

Fucksake.
Not that I was expecting to drive the car soon, but I was really hoping that my special shift carrier would show up today as scheduled. Getting the exhaust, driveshaft, heat shields, etc. off the floor of the garage and onto the car would make my life easier. I’m sufficiently halted for parts availability that I may well do the clutch in the yellow car. The flywheel is currently making deeply concerning rattling noises that suggest the DMF component has comprehensively failed.

My rage against DMFs burns with the heat of a thousand suns.
Also, USPS... I'm waiting on stuff that was shipped to me in November and has been in Maryland since December 4th. |

I’ll be going single mass here. (Edit: In both cars.)
