X4M Sighting in SoCal - PCH

I snapped a few pictures of an X4M out doing road testing in Redondo Beach, CA.

Quad exhausts look good!

I did roll the windows down to pay particular attention to the exhaust note. I was quite disappointed when a note very similar to the S55 lawnmower buzz was emitted. Is this what the S58 is supposed to sound like?

Just thought I'd share some pictures

That can’t be the finished model, just with a bit of camo, surely? Bar the mirrors and exhaust, it looks like a normal X4.

While the S55 is great from a performance standpoint its exhaust note

That's the truth. My 2019 X3 M40i stock exhaust sounds much better.

I absolutely do NOT like the tacky / techy rims.
