I am trying to figure out a new exhaust I currently have the Dinan 4" high flow with RES. on now but I would like something more raspy and loud when I want it too be, I don’t want my ears bleeding all the time
Debating on selling it and getting the E92 actually… Giving it some time seeing if their are any bugs
Tubi exhausts are known to be quite raspy. Your best best, if you can’t find someone else with a different exhaust on their M5, is to check out YouTube. You’d be surprised. Some of the demo videos that people upload of their cars are quite helpful and high-quality so that you can clearly get a sense of the exhaust note.

I am about to buy a BMW M5 with manual transmission and I was wondering if it is possible to convert it from manual to auto or automanual? If so, where can I get it done? How much will it cost?
Harley guy has no f*cking idea what he’s talking about. It can be done, but it would cost an insane amount of money. The base e39 transmission does not mount up to the S62 V8 in the M5, so it would need custom adapters to fit, a custom driveshaft would be needed, and adapters like the Guibo disc would need to be modified to work along with the driveshaft. At the very least you’re looking at $1000 for a used e39 tranny w/o shipping, custom driveshafts can be had for around $500, custom fit guibo $?, all the interior mods (auto shift knob, computers, etc…), and then the labor involved. A project like that could easily reach over $5000. Not worth it IMO. The M5 is a true sports car, it wasn’t meant to get a granny tranny…
***Thanks for the thumbs down 
This has been discussed on the forums hundreds of times, I know what I’m talking about here.

A couple good laps of Daytona Road Course during PCA Oktoberfast event on October 11, 2009. Top speed 174 mph into the Tri-Oval. Of course Brian (blue Boxster) catches back up in the infield. . . sigh. . . If only the M5 could lose 1000 lbs or so. . .

Only 5 or 6 cars on track for last session of the event. . . lots of open track time and fast laps. . . at least until the transmission (6 sp manual) overheats and the ECU cuts power. . . If only BMW had made the 6sp M5 up to “M” standards. . . shoulda got the SMG!
