It set off car alarms everywhere i went. It even made the plastic parts on the X5M rattle. But with spirited driving, all that was forgotten because it sounded so damn good!

If I were to do it over again, or even for my new M5, I'd go for the valved exhaust to control the rattling and start up noise. Only because the Race attracted too much attention and created chaos.
It seemed like the consensus on the xbimmers e70 forums was the race version was too loud for a bmw.
