[QUOTE=hitter07;30350136]Any drone?
hitter07 I wouldn’t say so - you can pulse the throttle and find an area where you could create drone for a moment, but I wouldn’t call it drone like what we would consider drone on the highway or anything like that. I am also super sensitive to sound. |

Well, i'm cancelling my X5M60I order and going for an SQ8. I just can't see the point of owning a V8 that sounds like an inline 6. What are BMW doing?.. this is going to kill M60I sales.

A near 600HP V8 should not sound like a Prius. Last edited by cobramite; 08-26-2023 at 11:46 AM.. |

Are you running stock downpipes or did you mod the exhaust system? |

I can honestly live with it the way it is but will likely do something. The M60i over delivers on it's promise of power as you well know and that matters more than sound. Backing out of an order over reading that the exhaust is too quite sounds like BS. "I'm canceling my M60i and going to buy an SQ8 because it has louder exhaust", sure thing , makes all the sense in the world. |

^^^^^^You cancel a 100K dollar vehicle which most people would consider very carefully prior to placing an order. You do so because you heard on the internet that it has a quite exhaust note and immediately cancel the order, ridiculous. Sorry but that sounds odd and rather trollish.
I doubt if anyone else believes your story. Last edited by cobramite; 08-29-2023 at 08:07 AM.. |

The lack of sounds is one of the easiest things to remedy in a vehicle. BMW's performance exhausts sound wonderful. There are aftermarket alternatives as well. I paid BMW $100 for their performance sound pumped through the speakers. It sounds silly, but its excellent and negated my itch to spend $3.5k on a real exhaust. Its me who wants to hear it, not my neighbors.

I did it last year. My local shop fabricated a X-Pipe. It sounds great on cold start and no drone. But I still looking for more sporty sound but not louder.
