I echo this and when I had that engine in my X5 I always left the drivers door open and then I couldn't stop revving it and listening to that V8 roar...I miss that engine big time and its been the most favourite BMW engine I have had.
I struggle to think of any V8 noise that doesn't give me a chub. The V8 M3 fails to deliver unless you modify the exhaust but I really enjoyed and appreciated the noise my X5 made even as standard.

The V8 in my M3 never hit the spot for me and left me very flat in the noise department but I put that down to me liking more of a traditional V8, yet I loved the angry and aggressive noise the AJPV8 made in my TVR at high revs though...big time.

Love the colour of your Cerb & for me the phase/mark1 front end is just so right. The V8 M3 fails to deliver unless you modify the exhaust but I really enjoyed and appreciated the noise my X5 made even as standard.
A friend at work had the XKR dynamic when I my C5 RS6 his sounded lovely but so did mine his was more top end raspy while mine bellowed /throbbed. We one day had both in the car park got a few others out to see which sounded he best - interestingly the XKR owner actually preferred the bellow but he only would buy new cars.
