BimmerLink is currently not compatible with the 22 F97. I emailed them and they said it will be supported but no ETA provided.

I have disabled the Active sound through Bimmer Code, Must admit sounds much better, even with one partially open.

Has anyone else noticed this or have a method of getting both flaps fully open?

Pulling fuse 203 on my 2021 X4MC after using the cold start/sport +/throttle blip method opened both valves and now they stay open. Sounds great. However, I have a similar problem with my 2022 X4MC. No matter what I do, the passenger side valve remains like 3/4 closed while the driver side is open. Has anyone been able to keep both valves open by pulling fuse 203 on a LCI?

If I get on the throttle earlier in the RPM range, they will stay open and that sound doesn’t exist.

I’m going to verify by pulling the fuse, but I really wish flaps were a simple on/off ordeal. Makes me hesitant to get aftermarket axle-back solutions, as this sound / behavior still may exist.
Did you end up pulling the fuse and having it paired with the eisenmann midpipe? If so, how was it? Any terrible drone?

for those of you who want exhaust valve control, save yourself the trouble and just get the VSC-2 controller and be done with it. no need to deal with fuses and what not. Dahler is the same thing and works fine on the platform as well, but is double the price (though you can program the activation buttons which is a plus).

Correct - this works on our cars.

I got mine this week - was able to install without lifting the car. I'm one of those "always sport+" owners, so no real benefit to the valves open on Wide Open Throttle, but a noticeable difference under partial throttle around 2500rpm. I'm sure it's more dramatic outside too

I unplugged the F203 fuse and never had any issues on my 2020 X3MC.
