I had a Dinan exhaust on my 545 (recently swapped cars to a 2010 535) and was very happy with it. The exhaust is only a tail pipe and muffler with polished stainless tips but the sound was incredible. Very deep rumble at start up, sort of like an American big block V8. The sound smooths out nicely at highway speed. I never had an exhaust that got so many positive comments. People just loved the sound.

I was so satisfied with the Dinan I plan on taking it to a custom exhaust shop to see if they can do a custom install and retrofit fit it to my 535i

I do have stock headers for now. I am looking at some Magnaflow performance headers with high flow cats

I just recently installed a dual single exit Magnaflow system using the stock headers. I love it - not obnoxiously loud. It's just right.

I had quads on my 530, I sold them before I traded that car in for the 550. The I6 doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the V8. On my 550 I wanted an exhaust that would definitely make power, so I went with RPI. There is a member here that did a lot of research and got a quad setup that made power, member West did it. I didn't want to go through all that, so I just went with something proven.
