Active grille shutters

Dealer replaced the hardware that I asked them to replace last visit, but they chose to update the software instead. We'll see how it goes with the new hardware installed.

The car has 1 month and a few thousand miles of warranty remaining, so this came down to the wire.

Any updates to this after the warranty replacement? My 2019 x30i has constant cels for radiator shutters BUT they actually operate. Closed when the car cools down, and open when warmed. Just annoying cels that will clear with bimmerlink, but just come back.

I don't have petrol X3, but I can only see grill open when there is DPF regen running/unsuccesful. It's not easy, I'd need a spotter, maybe while running (with AC on in decent weather), the grill would open. The only time I can see grill open, when the car is shut down, is when there is the unsuccesful regen. Rubbery smell + ventilator.
