no sound clip yet though.

Oh and the difference between a 535 ACS exhaust and a 550 ACS exhaust is night and day. While my 550 was in the shop I drove around a 535 ACS car it had the exhaust and the sounds are completely different. 535 is higher pitched and the 550 is very deep throated.
So to be clear: the 550i automatic does blip the throttle (rev match) on downshifts? That's a must have for me.

The ACS sounds bad ass! Exactly what I would be looking for if I was to do a 550i MSPORT.

You said it takes time to get used to - what do you mean by that? Is it too loud or obnoxious? Or just "different" than what you're used to?
