Honestly, if this mod doesn't satisfy your needs for a louder exhaust, I would just stay stock. It's actually quite subtle at 30-40% throttle during a general move off from a stop. My wife drove it next to me and I could barely hear it. It could have been because my M6 exhaust is quite loud but I barely heard anything. This modification will give you the best of both worlds.

Thank you for the detail explanation. This mod is exactly what I am looking for. Coming from Cayman S, I do miss the exhaust sound when driving but it revs at 3k rpm @ 80mph while X5 revs below 2k rpm at the same speed, where drone happens.
