I love the car it's beautiful! I want to make it just a little bit more aggressive sounding. What do I do?

Congratulations on the new purchase. I know you will enjoy the thrills that come with having a new toy.

If you're interested in mods, I have some OEM gloss black kidney grilles that I took off of mine about a month ago that I'm willing to let the set go for $50.

As far as options for improving the sound goes, check out RGsport. He has helped out many forum members over the years when it comes to performance mods.

depends what sound you want, engine sound - intakes, exhaust sounds - exhaust/midpipe

Kzang · 06-01-2017, 07:52 AM

If I had a 50i I would get this exhaust right away. It might not be little bit, but it is pretty aggressive.

@Eli550 , congrats on the car.
Let me know if you need anything.
To get more sound, it will depends on how aggressive you want it to be.

Is there an intake for this car?
I had a 550i a few months ago and there were no intakes available for that engine.
It is an SUV... so I don't want anything too crazy. Just want to hear that beautiful V8 a little more.

I'm in the same boat, not 100% sure on what's available.
I changed drop in filters for free flow and did golf t mod on exhaust and still doesn't sound any good. But mine is 35i so I don't even get v8 growl

Congratulations! That 50i is a power-packed beauty!

Nice car! Just took delivery of my 50i this past Saturday. I ordered the X5M filter waiting for them to come in. Cold start is the best!

Nice! I wish those wheels were on my 50i when I bought it. One of my fav wheels choices for the X5!

Hit up Ben at RG Sports and get the M50d bumper trim, that's one of the best visual upgrades you can get. I also agree that the ACS Exhaust is perfect, perfect V8 growl...
