One blogger here (lived in Markham - white M5 - named Kevin) who had Eisenmann Race for about 1 month before switching over to full Akra. He posted that for sale (I think $1000 cheaper than what he paid) and I thought about it at that time but decided not to go for it because it's a bit too loud for me. So, I am thinking either Eisenmann Sports or Active Autowerke (which has just finalized their exhaust recently).

Yes for ECU tuning I am looking at Dinan, my past cars are all bmw and with dinan tuning. All of them are also done at Budds bmw(I am sure you heard about the dealer, only Dinan distributor in Ontario and it is BMW dealer) so it will be no issue when I bring my baby for services.
Yes BBK is too pricey, I have got some prices from tuning shop. Cheapest one gonna charges me 9k for pars and installation.
Eisenmann race is way too loud and the sport version does not have enough attractive sound. Bimmersport(the bmw tuning shop in mississuaga) told me the Eisenmann sport is almost same as bmw own performance exhaust.
For my exhaust, I am satisfy with it now (I have m performance package) so the exhaust is tuned by M). Most folks drive 650 think the exhaust comes with m package just the color difference comparing with regular one). However, my SA told me exactly they are totally different. The one comes with M PKG is tuned by M. It may only right on GC, the coupe maybe different story.
For your exhaust choices, I think AA id the way to go. Ah. Forget to mention Dinan will release exhaust for M5 in next month. I think it will be a nice option.
