A Milltek or Akrapovic system would potentially void the warranty and they're also expensive. Is this true?

That said, is there anything I can do to regain those awesome sounds of previous M5s and my old RS6? Maybe the purchase of some light exhaust modifications...

The actual problem here, with the LCI, is that BMW actually mapped out the pops and bangs, so even by fitting any aftermarket exhaust, you are not going to get the sound you are after. Those exhausts wouldnt void your warranty, as long as you dont remove your OPFs. Im not sure if anyone is able to remap the LCI either yet, and by doing that, you would be able to have the good sounds back, and more power, but, and its a big but, you are definitely going to blow your warranty. Its a damn shame regarding the sound, as all the videos you watch on here, that are not in the EU, make it seem so unfair, as we all want the full fat sound .
