Look forward to your results. Mine seems to fall into the annoying category with a drone zone in 6th around the 2100 - 2400 rpm range most prominent.

It amazes me that those without a 1M feel qualified to comment on this issue. Some drones are tolerable whilst others are just plain irritating. I've had plenty of cars and bikes with modified exhausts; some droned some didn't. The 1M is a great car and does all I expected of it however the drone is inexcusable for the simple reasons that it is annoyingly intrusive and more importantly, this is a BMW. Not some amateur home built effort. Why the engineers, with all of the resources of BMW, couldn't refine this exhaust to eliminate a drone is a question worth an answer.
