Alpina B7 vs M760Li Exhaust (videos)

Haven't seen many quality exhaust clips of the B7 or M760Li, so thought I'd share a good one here. And I've got to say, the V12 M760Li not only sounds louder but meaner too, despite both of them making 600-hp. Check out the exhaust clips of each:

How can one get a 2017 B7 to sound like an M760?

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 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.

I have had the B7 for about 3 months and it's no M car when it comes to the exhaust system. I've always had M cars and they were all loud. The B7 is more quiet and there is a growl when you floor it but not the burbling/crackling noises you've come to expect from an M car.

Even so, I enjoy the quietness of the car. A welcome change from have multiple Ms the last few years.

When you open the exhaust in sport it does have a very nice gurgle but without the startling crackles or being obnoxiously loud like my X5M is.
