[IMOLA*20th]

I am looking for suggestions/experience to make my X5M a little more visceral. Previous cars were SQ7, 392 Jeeps, M5 Comp, and FPace SVR. They all had more life to them. I love the X5M once you get into power, however it takes a bit to wake up. The SVR and SQ7 exhaust was perfect, plenty of burble and cackle on downshifts even in moderate throttle. Is there something I can do with the exhaust that would have the same effect and not completely wake the neighbors? Secondly, I think I am going to go with an Eventuri intake unless there is something I am missing?

Certainly open to ideas.

Secondary downpipes with full exhaust system is probably what you need. Eventuri would the icing on the cake. Keep in mind cold starts will be loud for the first 20secs. No way around that

As Alan l. suggested. Secondary cat delete w/ full cat-back will brought up its soul.
Eventuri and RaceChip will compliment the growl.

Can’t the cold start be removed with tuning?

I've seen other posts where people removed cold starts and the car had other issues. (stalling)

Crap. That was my plan… ah well, the neighbors are just going to have to learn to love it!

lol - I use to live in a condo and my car was parked 10 yards away from my neighbors bedroom. I'm sure they loved my F95 and loved my F85 even more because that one had the Eisenmann Race exhaust installed lol

Pretty sure they had a party after I moved
