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  |
From what I understand, the newest software update removed all the pops and burbles from the M50i.
I have the 40i with the "sport" exhaust option and it sounds like shit compared to the 340i sport exhaust my friend has.
