On the M850i with the flaps permanently open the first 30 seconds or so with the additional echo of the garage is loud as hell. That's until the 1st kick down in RPMs then still loud but not like the 1st 20 or 30 seconds. I always wait for the last RPM kickdown before engaging the transmission in reverse for backing out of the garage.
I'm sure my neighbors have gotten used to it by now. 👍
