The diverter valves on the S55 are built directly into the compressor covers and are entirely electronically controlled (not pneumatic like most others). I suppose it may be physically possible to add one, but you'd certainly piss off the ECU and it would be redundant as the ones on the turbos would be providing the vast majority of the bypass. Don't do it.

On a DCT car adding one make less sense since the throttle is open during shifts... And in Sport mode the S55 is dethrottled, meaning that the Valvetronic (which is used instead of a traditional throttle valve) never fully closes. A blow off valve would probably not have any effect in that setting (and by effect here I mean the sound the OP is looking for...) And a blow off valve could possibly confuse the DME as well with boost pressure disappearing when it shouldnt etc... |

Are the blow off valves releasing boosted air responsible for the characteristic "Brraaaaap" sound of the S55 motor in the F80/F82? |

Here you go, second best option. $9 on ebay, but we'll four of them for a full symphony. I'm joking, but on second thought it would hugely entertaining for a day, just to upset people.

S55 has no Blow off valves only waste gates for the exhaust side of the turbos. BMW is using a different way of releasing the boost pressure on throttle closure. I have a theory but have proof yet.

The oem tuning might play with the valve timing(vanos) and valve lift(valvetronic) as you lift off the throttle and allow the manifold psi to blow through the cylinders straight to the exhaust/turbos pretty much giving the car huge overlap cam timing. The BRAAB noise caused by each cylinder opening to the exhaust. A bonus to this is its like a kinda anti-lag giving a big burst of hot gases to the turbos every time you lift.

that makes sense and could be totally possible. I guess we will have to wait until some of the companies that do the major engine upgrades to tear one apart.
I noticed a company selling BOV for the 135i and some of the other models so they must be doing something to not pissed the ECU off so it tells me i think it can be done but will require more research and maybe some R&D. |
