I did this simple mod on my X3 35i and it actually sounds pretty good - louder, bassier and more aggressive, and from the video clearly more so on an M3. Mine does drone at highway speeds in Normal but doesn't in Sport or Sport + which is what I use anyway. Takes almost no time and is completely reversible if you don't like it.

It's only open valves in efficient mode ? Does sound change in sport and sport plus mods?
I didnt understand the purpose of this mod..What will be the difference after doing that mod? In sport and sport plus more sound? |

Wow from the videos it's like that little mod gets you 90% of the sound yet 0% of the price of the bmw perf exhaust, sounds awesome.
Would love to hear that paired with either second cat delete or catless dp/second cat intact. Great vids!

Downside is that the full throttle note is no different. But it is cool for part throttle driving around town and angry-neighbor morning startups

coming from an S65 owner...i love what you did with this simple mod. I feel this sounds better than any aftermarket system, for now atleast. Well done!

Just did this today. Amazing. Easy. No error code, instantaneous better sound, eliminates flatulent cold-start. Best part... its reversible, however should be required by all M3/M4 owners!
I cut the fingertips off of a Nitrile glove and covered the plug (home-made condom for the plug), tie-wrapped to secure, and then taped the female receptacle with electrical tape. Viola! No need to get an exhaust system... maybe down-pipes though! Thanks a million for this thread! Newb!

I just did the same thing that Steve B did. It is late now, so I will test out the sound tomorrow.
There is a newer firmware update for the Awron thinge that can open up the flap from inside the cabin. Pretty nifty! http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1065031

This makes me believe I can code it so that it is always open instead of "auto".
