Is it normal for my BMW X6 to make a humming noise when in low gear?

I recently purchased a BMW X6 and I noticed that when I am in low gear, there is a constant humming noise coming from the engine. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it normal for this type of vehicle?

Yes, it is completely normal for your BMW X6 to make a humming noise when in low gear. This is due to the active sound design feature, which enhances the engine sound to provide a more dynamic driving experience. You can adjust the level of the active sound design through the vehicle settings.
