Thankfully, Sport Plus still is pretty aggressive for exhaust sound so the time has come for me to do the simple mod that will cut off the iDrive software from being able to manipulate the valves ( https://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1707154). |
Further proof. Car in the shop and currently driving a 2020 X5 40xi with radio software 11/2019.58. Remote start leaves both valves open, just how my 8er used to be. It’s not just an 8 series thing it’s brand wide. Don’t remember if mine had 70 or 58 before programming happened but that’s definitely proof that they want to quiet these things down. Hoping I can get it back to normal (at least the normal that i know.)
