I installed the MPE a couple of weeks ago. It's significantly louder than stock. The volume level reminds me of my MPE on my old e92. Cold start is loud! There's no way to get around that. On throttle no matter what mode, it's got way more volume than stock. It also burbles and cracks letting off throttle. It doesn't drone and just cruising down the highway it's not invasive at all. I don't like the tone though, it's got the dreaded weed whacker tone. It just doesn't suit the X5 to me. I was hoping for something tonally like the m40i which sounds great. I'm going back to the stock exhaust...bummer.

OK, here's a quick clip my girlfriend shot just to give you a taste. Cold start and rolling out. Cold start is a little too loud for me. If I could quiet it down I'd probably leave it on. Sorry no in cabin videos. No problem hearing it in the cabin though.

Amazing what we can do with our cameras! Thank you. Well done video. I'm still partial to getting it (when I get a car!). In my Dinan 540 from '02, and my current '12 S4 - the exhausts have been as much fun as the 'chips' (Milltek and AWE).

So now BMW told me there is a tune that comes with it that will increase the deep tone, burble, upshift/downshift pops and all that good stuff (basically a MPPSK). They said they'll do it for me if I buy the exhaust from them, so hopefully ends up sounding nice. I just sold my 2020 C43AMG W/ active exhaust and miss that dramatic entrance lol

I have it installed with a catless downpipe. It sounds really good. It does have a pop/burble when switching gears.
