Guys, it is impossible to produce a different sound due to the very special construction of the exhaust manifolds/engine setup. You can get it louder but thats it. This is a huge problem for tuners....

If you really want a Porsche, get the new Cayenne Turbo, do not go for the "old" Turbo S. The new Cayenne Turbo is lighter, has the same performance but handles better. You also get an awesome...

My wife in her M3 Cab stands no chance against my X5 M and judging by the instant take-off of the X5 M, I doubt that the M3 Coupe would be faster.
Both have the same 0-200 kph (125 mph) acceleration...

I switched from a Cayenne Turbo S (Mk I) to a 2010 X5 M and never looked back, honestly. Drove the GTS a couple of times but compared to the Turbo S, the GTS was a joke. This is why I would highly...

X5 M - top speed with M Driver's Package

One of the reasons why I bought the X5 M is the subtle look of the truck. I guess AC Schnitzer targets different markets with their mods. In Germany, I would make a total ass of myself if I would...

From 0-200 kph (125 mph), the M5 Touring is 2 seconds faster than the X5 M. You can actually see how at lower speeds, both cars are head to head but as soon as the speed gets higher, the M5 Touring...

Guys: caution with aftermarket exhaust systems. So far I heard a couple of them and none really improves the sound of the X5/X6M, they just make it sound louder.
