There isn't really any drone to speak of, at least to me. Some people are more sensitive to these kind of things.

We will be testing a mid pipe with resonators later this week or early next.
That's what I'm on about. No drone to speak of --- on yours. But there is on mine. It's not just that I'm sensitive to a little noise.
I'm well used to loud exhausts. Something similar to your 135i, mine had AR catted downpipes with a Corsa exhaust and the secondary cats taken out. It was loud, but a great sound.
This resonance type noise just within a 400 rpm window has me frowning and clenching my teeth and I either drive below it, or accelerate quickly through it. Otherwise the exhaust sounds fine and is ok.
