I love myself a nice sounding car, but whether it's the B55 or S55 - whichever way you turn it the M2 is NOT a nice sounding car. And this is coming from someone with a $5k+ M-performance exhaust.
This is why I don't understand these exhaust arguments. However you turn it, one just sounds less bad than the other but at the end of the day neither is good. The M50i exhaust wipes the floor with a "perforamnce" car, and it's a family hauler. There is no replacement for displacement when it comes to exhausts.
