The F96 ride is considerably stiffer, probably in part due to 21" wheels vs 20" wheels on my old F86.
The exhaust volume is probably roughly the same on both, but on the F96 it sounds so much better - more throaty with AMG like grunt. The F86 sounded raspy in comparison.
And again, I can't even empathize how much better the transmission is. I also own a 2012 X5 5.0 and 2018 M2, and in F86 the transmission was almost as slow as the X5. In the F96 it is comparable to the DSG in the M2.
