Another topic is the M Performance exhaust in the G8X: Putting the looks aside (who the hell approved that design??), the sound diference was only noticeable to me from the outside. Stock one was a little bit more muted and (probably) a little bit higher pitched also. I'm pretty sure that blindfolded only very fee people could differenciate them. Please take into account that I am talking about EU models, so it might be different in OPF-free countries.

Interesting your point about the differences between the M3/M4 and the X3M/X4M: I also had the opportunity to drive the X4M back-to-back with the M3 and M4 at the Perf. Center in SC and my impression was very similar to yours. I did not like the X4M much and it did not feel in the same league as the M3C/M4C on track.
