It will sound broken and you'll have a great deal of drone.

Same here, no drone at all.

This mod saved the M50i from being sold due to its meagre sound and the limited choice of after market exhausts available.

I would have been well pissed had i spent 5k on an exhaust and then someone showed me the results of the resonator and secondary cat delete. Saved me a fortune.

Yea, i found out from the hellcat guys, when I had my trackhawk, years ago what a simple resonator delete can do for an exhaust.

Anyone try this in US?

central resonator and secondary cat then have them cut out and a straight pipe inserted in their place.
I did this to my 2019 X5 40i.
It sounded great at start up and the I got on the throttle.
But normal driving had a lot of drone, my wife hated that, I was ok with it.

I have decided to purchase exhaust instead of wheels. That sounds incredible. Problem for me is that it will run $5k + shipping just to get it here to the US.

I think the cold start sound of the M50i is due to richer tune along with the open flaps. I'll bet you could get that sound from tuning at the expense of fuel economy.

Does the exhaust from Dahler come with those tips shown in both videos?

Yes and the exhaust trim has to be removed in order for them to fit. It appears almost like it is an X5M exhaust being forced into M50i.

Did you make any other changes to the valves, etc. or is that just the exhaust system alone?

Any cold start videos?

Does it sound similar to stock when valve closed, and same to a muffler delete when the valves opened?

I want the sound to be deeper and a little louder. I was looking at mufflers and these companies are all on crack. I just want a little more noise. What about X5M muffler on the M50? Is it the same exhaust or different? I was also thinking catted DP but I heard that voids the warranty. Anyone have any ideas? Im scared to go with the X pipe route because what if I dont like it? I just want it to be a little louder when I hit the gas. Man I wish Borla made something for the X5.

Doing res delete with straight pipes tomorrow. I just read about this 15 min ago. I love it. I will find someone to do it on the spot. I need this!!! Leaving flaps alone because if I want to drive normal I want silence. It is a luxury SUV! Im in NYC and someone got it done in Staten Island. 15 min from me. 200-250....Bargain in my book for that sound!!!
