You will the 2nd time around! I did but I actually have to drive the x5 now so it matters more to me.
Personally I cannot justify $4k+, to spend an additional 5.5% on top of the initial purchase price for a car I'll keep maybe 3 years? but it sounds so good...maybe if it was titanium.... I'm just glad I can live through others and others can justify it It sounds soooo good.

Actually you can slap cheap mufflers on to the 50i and it will sound good, not as good as meisterschaft but you'll get that V8 rumble

This is true, It seems a lot of aftermarket exhaust sound pretty good on the V8

the gthaus meistercraft exhaust has become a great pleasure in my life.

if you havent been in the vehicle with windows down shifting up down up down up down, you have no idea how great life can be......but beware a great depression pre-delivery phase
