Everyone has their own interpretation of "good." The 21s sound throaty. I dont mind the omission of too many "burbles" or "pops." I associate overdoing it with someone buying a 10 year old BMW for $5k and trying to make it stand out.

I've tuned my last 3 BMWs with downpipes and never selected a burble option so not to sound like a 17 year old. There is a difference between loud and good, which many civic owners or non-enthusiasts cant tell a difference from.

The 21 X5s sound fantastic when you get on it and quiet enough when you want quietness. Perfect mix of knowing you have a V8 and knowing you have a luxury car while still retaining some pops and bangs without overdoing it.



But I wouldnt expect someone who doesn't have a V8 to know that
