If anyone interested in one day used one let me know.
I'll made some videos and will post it the classified for sale.
Do you have any videos of how loud it was?

Believe it or not, not everyone buying an M car wants it to sound extremely loud or aggressive. Many people are fine with how it sounds stock. Even some 911 owners complain on Rennlist that their car is too quiet. The great thing about cars is you can modify it how you want to.

I've had the opportunity to take a new M5 to the track and once broken in they sound great stock, nothing wrong with the sound in my opinion. I'd still change it personally, but again everyone had different tastes.

That being said...the Akrapovic sounds amazing!

Bought them for $3,300 plus shipping
So $3,000 plus shipping seems fair for one day used exhaust

Hi,
I also live in Toronto. Where do you get the performance parts from? Which mechanic/shop do you go to for installing the parts?

I wouldn't want the car much louder than this, because I work in a large office building. We all park in the parking garage, and I don't really want people I work with to hear me coming from a mile away. A lot of non-car enthusiasts hate loud exhaust noise, and while I personally love it, I know there are people I work with that would think less of me for having a super loud exhaust.

Also, I'm sure a lot of people buying M5s get them for practicality. So, that often means driving the family around. Do you not believe that anyone would want to be able to have the exhaust on a quieter mode to not wake their baby that finally stopped crying and fell asleep in the backseat?

The M5 is inherently a compromise car. The point where performance and practicality meet. If you want something fully aggressive, why not just get a true 2-door sports car?

I would think people would already hate on you for having a 130k car!! Lol. That's usually how it works! When I had my GTR a few years back I got it from everybody at my last company! My boss even implied I was doing illegal things to obtain my wealth! (Which May have been the case then).

I can understand the sound factor, then M should have a variable valve that we can control.

Agree,
Main reason I pulled the trigger was because of it’s discreteness.
I can’t possibly pull up to see/pick up my client in an E63 and not look like a cock with it’s extreme styling and sound.
Already have to de-badge and back the car in everytime I go for meeting.

Also agree on Akra sounding pretty osum.
Would like to hear it with the valve closed if possible?

Luckily most people just see the M5 and think it’s a “regular” 5 series lol. And the ones who know the difference are usually asking for a ride in it rather than giving me a hard time for buying it haha.

I stopped caring about the comments about my "expensive" (335i) BMW when I noticed how many were coming from people driving $60k pickup trucks and SUVs.
