Nice pics of the underside of the car. Yeah the exhaust looks like a big piece of metal. I'm sure any aftermarket ones will be expensive. After test driving it again, I think I'll be happy with the stock exhaust. It's nice that it gets loud in M mode. Does it have resonators that can possible be removed, should one want it even louder than that?

I'm guessing so.. My Z06 has the same exhaust 'butterflies'.. I pulled the fuse on day 2

I think I'll leave the /// as is.

Don't know.. I tend to think not.

Do you have a delivery date (range)?


Not yet. I haven't been in contact with my service advisor in a few weeks. My own fault, haha.
My wife is buying the X6M for herself - as soon as she heard there was an X6 that might be able to take down the new M3 in a straight line, she immediately said "Ooooooh....... REALLY....." (I think it took exactly two days to get the order placed).

I love my wife, haha....

The exhaust note changes when you press the M button. Leaving always on M note is not a bad idea.

Well, those of you with cars already, please work out how to leave it permanently on! It must be a fuse or a simple mod like that. Could be the best mod on these cars given the complaints on the exhaust note. Btw, some of argued that the V8 isn't a big block therefore you can't expect that much. Well my Aston V8 Vantage is only a 4.3 and it sounds like a nice, loud, refined muscle car! Then there is my C63 (but of course this is a 6.2litre engine) which to my ears sounds even better.
