My guess is that the exhaust system has the spring loaded vents which need pressure to open, just as many other BMW models such as the Z4 E85. In other words, all pipes isn't used until a certain pressure (in practice, rpm) is reached. This is one way to create different sound on different rpm's.
Take a picture straight into the exhaust system on one side (i.e, where one blackened and one clean pipe is seen) and we'll know the answer.
