That’s if I’m right in thinking on Sports or Sports Plus the valve is always open?!
Indeed this is where you are mistaken. The flap is not directly affected by the driving mode. Even in Sport+ the flap will be closed at idle while the engine is not up to temperature.

Since disabling ASD I know from experience now that the increase in exhaust volume when switching to Sport+ at idle is 100% artificial from the ASD system and nothing to do with the flap.
