I am hoping and praying for this. I have both installed on my '16 X5...hoping this is available or the X5 M50i...prefer the exhaust as the V8 is so thirsty.

I'm surprised the 50i doesn't have the same pops/bangs on downshifts my M40i did, but it still sounds better overall

It has some pops.. Try sport plus, manual, keep it in gear and decelerate in this gear abruptly - like floor, red line and drop the gas.. it will pop

40i engine sounds great, just not the exhaust.
Maybe with time...maybe with UK 98 Octane... lot's of maybe and I'd like a nice burble like the Panamera makes when changing down now! |

I had my dealer open the right flap. The exhaust definitely sounds better, especially on a cold start. It will pop and burble a bit, especially in Sport Plus mode. There is a bit of a noticeable drone at highway speeds, especially when going up a hill. Some had said, on other threads, that the purpose of the flap is to increase turbo boost -- I do feel that I have lost some low-end torque with the flap permanently open

I'd need to see data before agreeing with you. Valves are open in sport mode by default so I can't test it without manaual opening them

they are not open by default in sport mode, you need to hit at least 2000RPM from what i understand for it to open in sport mode.
