Personally I have disconnected the plugs from the valve controllers instead of pulling the fuses |

Once the flaps are locked into place then every cold start after that is loud as hell. Plus with 218 gone as well you get to truly hear the car which I didn't even understand until pulling 218 as I could still hear the exhaust regardless of the fabricated ASD nonsense. ASD gone and it's just pure glorious. 👍 |

I can also confirm that you can press the Sport button on the console before starting the car and it will remember your last Sport setting (Plus, Individual, etc). |

Oh. I saw this after I replied to bloozeman. I have 11.2023 and I do not have Sporty sound setting. I have mine set to Depends on Driving Mode. But once again, I didn't do an update my car was delivered with 11.2023.

I should also note, the sound is GLORIOUS! It doesn't matter which mode it's in (Sport, Comfort, etc.). It sounds great. ASD off, flaps always open is definitely the way to go.

As stated 218 will never see the light of day again as without it even in ECO Pro the exhaust sound (flaps open) beats the crap out of ASD. I call that out as when the wife is with me it's most often a long highway drive to San Diego to visit our son. There's a lot of boring stretches that equals DAP and ECO Pro (save some gas). But when we hit the winding mountain pass DAP off and Sport Individual for the win. 👍 |

I believe that is correct. I believe mine is the same & I do not have the option for the Sport sound. Now that I've had the car tuned, I won't be seeing it return without replacing parts. :/

Awesome Post!
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. I've followed all steps above & it was pretty easy. Downloaded the fuse map, & pulled fuse 203 (far left upside down 7.5) & fuse 206 (upside down 10 just right of 203). Sounds great! |

Could you please verify that you have 11/2023.50 installed? As you see from this post, there are still some members claiming that the Sporty feature in the iDrive is gone from their menu completely. I'm wondering if this is something BMW did with the 2024 models and is not a software update!

So 11/2023.50 may nuke "sporty" from the engine sound settings but the key being with 218 and 203 (plus 206 for a M8) pulled it's no loss whatsoever as "depends on driving mode" is king to begin with. Even a remote start with the flaps open in default comfort is glorious. Want to make that always Sport Individual, Sport or Sport Plus and Bimmercode to the rescue.
Absolutely nobody should be concerned with the loss of "sporty" and when I have the M850i in for service and ask for the latest/greatest iDrive release which my dealer always does when asked I'll still be grinning regardless. 👍 |

When you remove the fuses, no error messages on the iDrive!

Turns out I was incorrect. I could have sworn that was gone but, I just found it. My car is a 2020 and the last update was in 2021. I now have to make it clear to the dealer not to flash the system since it is tuned.
