Picked up my sapphire black 550i :D

hey everyone, I am new here but by no means new to BMW. Before I get to the point I just wanted to warn you about my horrible grammar and spelling, partly because I'm not really in NA or the U.K and also because English is my second language.
Anyways I just wanted to share. I got a new 550i in sapphire black and a cinnamon brown interior with the Anthracite Wood Trim. The car is a July built with almost every option available except for: folding rear seats, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats and finally active front seats (massage seats I guess). I got the car off the lot instead of ordering one I would have loved to order but i am not really a waiting around type of guy and I also change my mind quite easily so I just took the plunge and bought one from our local dealer. I really wanted to get the September updates and the ventilated seats and sort of regretted not waiting. But nonetheless its a fantastic car and I'm still happy with my choice. I also wanted to ask if anyone have any suggestions about possibly changing the exhaust system? I really think the car is too quiet (even the new X5, that i test drove a while back, with the same engine sounds better, louder and meaner I loved that exhaust tone ) Awaiting your suggestions and I will hopefully be posting pictures soon.

EDIT: I got some crappy Iphone 4 photos. They will have to do for now.

EDIT:

You can choose to utilize the OEM tips, or have the quad tips installed. Then you can choose Heat Baked Dry Carbon Fiber Tips, Shadow Black Chrome Tips or, Matte Black Tips.

I need a sound clip, I googled but I couldn't really find one. While googling I also found this
and that doesn't sound too comforting
I was thinking of installing straight pipes but I really don't need the police's extra attention and I would get that if I go with the straight pipes. I really like the sound I heard of my friends X6 5.0 with straight pipes, so I thought I would get a similar exhaust tone on the 550 but after seeing him get pulled over and fined a couple of times I think I'm gonna hold of for a while. Anyways thanks mate.
