My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
The sound matures and settles in over time. Mine isn't nearly as loud as it was when I first installed it, and the drone I did have is completely gone, along with the ricey sort of tin at a certain rpm. I do have the V8 so that does make a big difference as to the tone though. Give it time, you'll love it.

No it's not droning. It is a deep pitched sound that changes with RPM and the amount of pedal pressure I'm using.
Today I had my 27 mile each way commute to work and I am feeling much better about the exhaust. It is louder than I anticipated but I am OK with the volume it produces. The butt dyno says that the gains are impressive. One of the things that I know will be of use is that it is easy to tell when the gas pedal is being pressed more than necessary. That is when I can hear the exhaust more than any other time. I had a chance to drive under some bridges and in a parking deck and like what I heard. Cruising on the intestate at anything over 2500 RPM gives a nice deep sound but not as invasive as I thought it would be yesterday.
I am upgrading my opinion to 75% plus/25% negative. We'll see how things are after the 1000 mile burn in.
BTW, RPI guy, I am surprised there were no stickers or anything in the box. Guess you don't want the free advertising?
