Seems BMW do listen to feedback.. Perhaps i'll reconsider!

Just ignore what that dealer told you, there is no chance of that happening.

This is on my 40i vermillion edt I’m not impressed Far as I’m concerned, there’s no difference in the sound

The only point i am making is that the M60i is possibly the worst sounding V8 on the market today.

If you dont call it out for what it is, then other people get sucked in and ultimately massively dissapointed.. as evident across this forum.

So so so sad I 100000000% agree and really not happy
I complained that they forgot to install the M performance exhaust and have booked in as per BMW request to have it looked at.
Maybe as all need to do this together.

The X5 2024 m60i sounds CRAP and really really really disappointing.
Jag sounds great
Merc sounds good.
BMW doesn't sound and why, sold the same places

Can this be reversed? For a leased vehicle, and how much did it cost?

Thanks

Sounds much better and cheaper alternative to getting downpipes (waiting for warranty to expire before going the downpipe + tune route).

Yes - if you unplug valves, just wrap them in electrical tape and tuck away. When your returning, just plug them in

As for for the x pipe. Your going to cut out of the resonator and put in a x pipe. When your going to return, just take your original resonator and get that welded on again

Is this the same with the ‘24 X5M? I’m wondering if an X5M exhaust will fix this.

Dang it, I just ordered a '25 m60i. Will be my most expensive car to date and first one that I custom order.

I will not turn off the iconic sounds and I will try to forget reading everything about the sound

This is my first v8. So Im exited nevertheless! I hope in the future there's something minimal that can be done to enhance the sound.

Besides the sound, everything else about the car looks awesome!

Picking up my 25’ M60i any day now, looking into doing a muffler delete? Have any of you in here done one or something similar? Can’t find sound clips anywhere for exhaust stuff relating to this car!!

I am hoping that soon there will be more Youtube videos for 2025 X5 M60i.

Congratulations on your order, but your First V8 is an underrated at 530 HP, twin turbo BEAST ? What did you do? Rob a bank?

You better be restrained behind the wheel, this thing goes way too fast for it's size and weight.
