The burble sound happens when you let off the throttle. It's very apparent with the MPE and once i switch to comfort mode it stops happening.

To be honest I could do away with it as it doesn't suit the character of the X5.

Are you getting the exhaust?
You might as well seeing how much money you've already sunk in. lol

Ha ha I blame Alan and a few others here I'm not sure I would like the popping / backfire sound that I hear on the videos of MPE. The only thing I might get is the rear CF diffuser. But that will be later.

Not yet Brucedu, I plan to add it maybe next week. I wanted to get a feel of MPPK tune for a bit before adding RC.

^^ some advice

I bought the same for my X5 and they are for the E70. The F15 trunk badge is slightly different shape to accommodate the curves on the trunk lid. There is a curve right where the badge should go which will cause the tip of the "5" to not sit completely flat against the body. The cheap adhesive isn't strong enough and i noticed that part peeling away slightly on my X5. I suggest you remove the adhesive and use some 3M VHB there if you want any chance of the emblem staying completely flush. I know because i went through two sets of the ebay emblems and both ended up in the trash can. I ultimately ordered some black chrome badges from IND.

I just compared it to my original emblem and you're right the size on this one is bigger. I guess I will return this and buy the one from iND.

Dropped the X5 off this morning at the dealer to have the MPE installed.
I also received my carbon fiber rear diffuser which I will install this weekend

Your car is coming along very nicely! I really want the MPE and MPPK, too. If I had to choose though between the two, it'd be the MPPK. More bang for the buck, obviously.

Thank you! I tried to resist the mod bug but it didn't work!!

Oh yeah I'd choose the MPPK over MPE as well but they go very well together

Yeah I watched a few of your YouTube videos countless times and every time I hear the exhaust note I just can't resist it. I hope mine will sound as good as yours do!

Also bought the rear diffuser for my space grey X5. Was gonna get it fitted tomorrow along with iND night vision black gloss grilles (kidneys). However, someone drove into the back of my car on Saturday so... Will have to wait for the rear bumper to be painted before I get the diffuser put on. Damn.

The rear diffuser is being added ( free installation cost ) by the dealer for spending lots of $$. So I took advantage of it

Yeah, thanks. Only a matter of repainting the whole rear bumper. But no damage to any sensors or exhaust etc. So fairly easy fix. Just a pain in the...
