I did exactly as suggested and drove the X5M and GLE63S Coupe back to back and was blown away by the exhaust sound of the Mercedes. To be honest, the character of the X5M exhaust reminds me a lot of a VWE Golf GTI/R. I intend on doing something about that however.

Comparing interiors, I wasn't sold on the GLE. I do think it felt more premium, but I hated much of the layout and controls. This is where the BMW is absolutely miles ahead. The seats were really comfortable in the GLE, but they were even more difficult to get in/out than the X5M.
The X5M exhaust breaks in around 4k miles. The note gets deeper and louder, especially driving around in Sport+. I'm pretty content with my exhaust right now, sound wise (it doesn't look good). Catless DPs would help with the sound further.

Powerbeast is selling his beautiful FI exhaust if anyone is interested.
