That's how I would describe it as, what would you say it sounds like?

I think the exhaust note and sound volume is just perfectly balanced. When you stomp on the gas, the sound of the exhaust lets you and others know that you have a special X5. At lower RPM's you still have that burble and growl.. Most of my friends that are driving behind me tell me the exhaust sounds pretty good and it is noticeably loud.
Definitely has that nice balance and makes it into a somewhat exciting family car, well worth the money.

OP, try getting a tune if you want a bit louder.
I have the MPPK already and it's still not that loud from the inside, just how I like it, so no complaints.
