I removed the connectors of the valves and taped them up with aluminum tape. Sounded good around town but I could not bear the drone on the highway at around 80 ... so I re-connected the valves.

I read a lot about pulling the fuses - why not installing a controller?
Plug and Play , costs are around 150 Bucks and Installation is done within minutes. |

Interesting comment, I noticed a different very short lived drone around that speed when half accelerating and letting off the gas since I pulled the fuse and installed CAIs. Must be the open valves. I can live with it

cause its not a Honda?! :-D Personally the main reason for me is to be still able to close the flaps, when I need to by the click of a button. By pulling the fuses I would "delete" this function and I dont like to delete functions :-) - probably that is linked to "german engineering" and I am an german engineer driving german "over"engineered cars :-D I installed this one and bought when there was a special sale: https://www.sst-spezialsteuergeraete...j-ab-2019.html Nice thing is, that you can learn the remote to the factory door opener so you can control the flaps with the three buttons on the mirror. 1 is open for me, 2 is closed and 3 is factory setting :-) |

How is it any different than sound mode equals sport in the idrive menu? I can audibly hear the valves open so I wasn't going to bother disconnecting fuses

The drone I get is in a cold start and it's loud as hell. However, it goes away with the first kickdown of the RPMs. I still wait for the 2nd kickdown though before engaging the transmission. |

On the M850i they are 100% real vs fabricated. In fact I've pulled the ASD fuse as well so no fabrication on my M850i period. With the flaps permanently open I can hear the real exhaust even in comfort and ECO Pro above the B&W cranked at 40%+ volume. I use Sport Individual for regular non-boring highway drives. Setting for that is engine on Sport Plus, transmission on Sport and chassis on Comfort. That way I get to fully relish in the Sport Plus exhaust fuel mixture with the less aggressive Sport transmission. To go full Sport Plus when I want that aggressive transmission then just toggle the shifter to the left which overrides puts it in full Sport Plus (same setting for doing launches). I call the maneuver my poor man's M button. |

Bingo! But I still have the B&W cranked plus the exhaust symphony so best of both worlds. 👍
