2020 X5 m50i exhaust same as m850i?

Anyone speculate or have knowledge about the exhaust note on the 2020 X5 M50i in comparison with that of the 2020 M850i as I believe they have the same engines. I just followed behind the 2020 M850i and it had an awfully mean exhaust growl and crackle. Was quite nice, not overly loud. Any thoughts?

I am sure it will have a good sounding system. All the other M performance models do.

As I mentioned in another thread, last Friday and Saturday, when I attended the IMSA Northeast Grand Prix race at the Lime Rock Park race track in CT, I spoke with a number of BMW NA representatives at the BMW Fan Zone where they had the 2020 BMW X3 Competition and X4 Competition on display.

I specifically asked one of the senior BMW NA executives about the upcoming 2020 BMW X5M that I am very interested in as my next vehicle. One of the things he told me was that it will give the driver the ability to modulate the engine exhaust sound, (tone and volume), in a similar way that Mercedes-Benz AMG s vehicles currently do. I think that will be an added enjoyable benefit.

FWIW, my current 2016 BMW X5M has the same engine as my previous 2014 BMW M6 Coupe, but the exhaust growl, burp and pop when shifting gears on the X5M is far louder and more enjoyable in its tonality to my ear, than the engine exhaust sound note on the M6 Coupe.

Im also wondering if the new X5 M50i sounds as nice as the M850i. Especially the nice growl and crackle sounds when you lift the gas or go into high revs. Sounds wonderful to me.
So radmjk as you already got your M50i according to your profile, does the M50i also have the growl and crackle sound like the M850i?

I can confirm zero crackle and it's very very muted. Maybe 15-25% louder than a non m sport exhaust. Very disappointed
