    2017 Alpina B7 - Exhaust note big disappointment

    I am hoping that someone on this forum can help. I have been eyeing Alpina B7s for years. I was all excited to finally test drive one that matched my desires to a T but was greatly disappointed in the lack of exhaust tone. In fact I heard none. Is this possible from an Alpina B7? I even put the car in Sport, dropped the windows and used the paddle shifters and still got nothing. There was no throaty noise at the start nor did the bafflers wake up when I down shifted. Is this really the way the car was tuned? I called Dinan and they do not offer Stage 1 or Stage 2 exhaust system for this model as of yet. Have any of you 2017 to the present Alpina B7 owners out there been able to modify their exhaust system? If so, please share. I am coming out of a 2018 M550xi and she makes great noise from the start!! I also drove a 2017 M760 and was disappointed by the noise in that car as well. I really was hoping to add a B7 to my garage and check it off my bucket list. I am hoping someone out their has a solution. Please share if you do as well as a sound bit too! Thank you for your help.

    7 series are meant to be quiet, refined, and luxurious. Hence the quiet exhaust tone.
