Coming from the 550xi, my 650xi GC sounds much meaner. Same engine, but it's obviously a very different exhaust. I also believe there's some artificial sound being pumped into the cabin. I know they do this on all the M cars now, but I hadn't heard of it being done on others... but I just feel like there's a twinge of it. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Personally, I'm really happy with the stock M-Sport exhaust. It's much more aggressive than a normal sedan (e.g. my previous 550xi), but it's not too aggressive to cause stares or become droning. I like that the GC is sporty, but I don't want mine to sound too loud - still want it to be a comfortable place to cruise long distances and coast through town centers when need be.
