But I’ve also said before, coupe and roadster acoustics are very different and I think the coupe hatch introduced more unwanted drone.
I'm running the Euro Section 1, DKF 100, Stock X and Stromung cans. I have no drone and the sound for me is in the sweet spot for the Z4MC. I also have the 4.10 gear ratio in my custom rebuilt diff and it definitely helps to keep the motor in the optimum RPM range resulting in faster response that can only be appreciated by driving the Z4MC with this mod. Just for the record I had my differential rebuilt by:

As I said before I like the experience of a high performance vehicle without sounding like a 2020 Mustang automatic with a really loud exhaust that has no increased performance, just louder pipes. There is no exhaust sound worse than an automatic trans with the loud shifts, so lame.
