Let me tell you why I think it is. The stock muffler has it, for one. And systems that don't drone at all on other cars, like Corsa, drone on the M3 (several reported that). That means the M3 is more prone to drone than other cars.
Now, what you said is true, but look at the mufflers of most systems: they're straight-thru man (with baffle chambers), even the Remus Sport. My observation is quiet systems like Remus Sport shift the drone higher in the rpm range, and obviously drone less than aggressive systems.

Thanks for your input man. Hopefully we both can learn something new from this thread. If not, stock is really not bad, as we should put more emphasis on function (sound while you drive, which is perfect to me), rather than form (how the car looks, and how it sounds to bystanders). I'm not going with form over function this time . Take care man.
