I drive my M5 pretty must all the time with the transmission on D2 and everything else on sports plus. I use D3 occasionally if I really want to drive fast but I feel that for city driving D3 is just too hardcore.
Do you guys really feel a significant difference in the sound levels (in the cabin at least) when driving on these settings or you wouldn't recommend burning $10k on an after market exhaust for a minimal increase in sound ?
Appreciate your thoughts. |
I had Eisenmann Race and no Akropovic.
Car came with M Sports exhaust.
Car is too well insulated to hear anything on the inside unless
You go aftermarket.
Catless down pipes make a huge difference even with stock
Exhaust. Custom X pipe also makes difference.
So those are two of the cheaper options if you don't want to
Change exhaust.
I Also have one day used Eisenmann race for sale if you interested.
I had full straight pipe setup and it was too loud.
