Funny you mentioned that, I've found exactly the same thing. Stubby (it was more of a semi-stubby) was very good on the E85 but the E89 stubby is not great at all.
My receptions fine, bit I am using a genuine bmw stubby

well my short stint in the remote control car camp has come to an end, due to the arrival of my genuine bmw stubby that I should have got in the first place.
long live the stubby

You won't be disappointed. I bought a retrimmed standard wheel for my car a few years ago. The retrimmed standard one still wasn't as thick as my standard sport wheel. Just make sure when they retrim your sport wheel they don't end up making it thinner
The sport wheel feels so good to touch

Just reinstalled my drivers door kick plate and I'm going to put on my missing M badge on the drivers side wing and bar a full paint correction from my old man, all the cosmetics will be fixed.
Earlier this week, the broken exhaust clamp has been replaced with a sleeve to tied me over until I can get my mate who has his own business making custom exhausts, to do a full stainless system but with a butterfly valve in it, so I can keep it quiet in the mornings at home, but have it in full song when I am out enjoying the B roads.
Sounds like a useful friend. Where is the valve going to redirect to? Post-cat, straight out, or some kind of backbox bypass? Member Fishy Dave had the former (with Bluetooth control) and it sounded brutal!
I would have a backbox pass, so there was at least one set of silencers still in use. I know that when the backbox's are bypassed, you get the most savage over run crackles and sound, but you're not so loud you're going to get pulled over for it.

It's parked up on a SORN, but still gave it a wash.

I've never been keen on red cars (most people aren't for some reason), but a Z4MC in Imola red is quite beautiful

A red Ferrari is a bit samey-samey
a red BMW, Let alone an M version, seems quite the rare sight.
