If you are considering that car I'd definitely dig into that.

Also agree with prior reply - DHP is nice but let's be honest, how hard are you going to push this car in a corner? I have a 2020 x5 M50 without DHP and a 2020 M550 with DHP. The M550 is fun to throw into a corner at high speed so I'm glad I have DHP. I have no reason to drive a large SUV as aggressively so don't miss it on the X5.
Dhp?

First mode done today, resonator delete. It better but sometimes is like stock, maybe because flaps are closed.

Did you replace the resonator with an X, H, or straight pipes?

[QUOTE=patrikr;29511797]Congrats!! I was going to chime in and say that at least for me, B&O and DHP are not dealbreakers.

BMW hasn't used B&O for years.

Easy way to get some healthy sound. It would be nice to have a call button on those flappers like a thru-hull set up on a speed boat. This M50i should really show its teeth under hard acceleration with both flaps wide open and the resonator in the trash. A V8 should sound like it has a pair at full song.

Straight pipes and flaps always open. No drone that I note it in any mode.

You do not have to push the car in a corner to understand the importance of DHP. Just the active roll stabilization makes this car better than the one without DHP. It makes this huge truck drive like a full size car.
