Apparently, the 650 M sport package exhaust (coupe,convertible & GC) is different from regular 650 Non M sport exhaust and same goes the 550 as well. This may be an article sound enhancement thru the car's speakers but nobody knows.

Here is a sample:

I find paddle shifting on my 550i impossible without using the instrument cluster, and since the car is so fast it isn't practical to take your eyes of the road, so basically the paddles are useless in the 550i.
