Loud exhaust on the E90 is pointless IMO and ruins the experience for me personally. It's really about induction noise and the E90 is one of the best out there (and I have driven both a Lambo and a Ferrari). You have the engine howl and valve noise come right through the intake vent on top of the hood. As the engine is in the front you can hear so much of the engine working as the car whooshes through the air. Granted you have to have the windows down for this. Put a CSL style CF intake/plenum and the intake sound I would say is better than a Ferrari, kid you not.

Turner Motorsports has said that the LR E92 M3, with the MPE was the best sounding BMW ever built. This is coming from real race drivers who have seen (or heard) it all.

Also agree with one of posters above about Audi RS4 sounding incredible..it's really an awesome sound especially from outside the car.
