It's just louder and the added noise can get annoying.

The car is definitely not luxury quiet anymore but I didn't expect it be. However, I am going to add some sound dampening material in the trunk next week. We will see how much that helps.
I used this and it worked well. It was recommended to me by a guy that ran a M5 exhaust on his 535 and the drone was killing him. Plus, it's relatively cheap.
