I realize the 2020 X5 M50i is not actually out yet, but I'm wondering if anyone might know if its exhaust noise will be much, if any different, than what I hear on a 2019 X5 xDrive50i.

I am close to ordering a 2020 X5 M50i, and wondering just how much noise it will be making when I start my car first thing in the morning? I'm trying to keep my neighbors happy!

I've listened to exhaust notes on videos of the 2019 M850i engine, and I cannot tell if there's any appreciable difference. I realize it does have ~75 more HP, but I'm not sure if that factor alone will add to the noise coming out of the exhaust.

It will probably be louder than the 50i but I doubt it will bother your neighbors like an M3 would.

I rented an M850i from BMW Welt in Munich a couple of weeks back and the exhaust is significantly louder and better sounding than the X5 50i. In fact, I enjoyed it and the increased power so much, it had me second guessing my decision to not wait until the X5 M50i gets released in Canada for 2020!
