Well, my M50i cost a little more than that, and it sounds great as is, altho the piped in shit is pretty cheesy and I turn it off from time to time. And when I recently started it up in sports plus to show off to a buddy, I'm pretty sure I heard some bubbles and pops. Altho I do notice it less while driving. And I got the latest update, so...
Yeah, I am fairly happy with the sound for what it is. For the reference, these are my last two BMW V8s and I don't feel a big difference in sound. The 550i even had downpipes at the time of filming.
