Another fix for this is to disconnect the solenoid and put a termination resistor on the connector coming from the engine computer so you don't get a fault code. BMW sells a connector with a termination resistor and they also sell a blank connector that you can insert into the connector on the solenoid so it doesn't get corroded. To use this method, you have to remove the solenoid, turn the solenoid to the open position and then reinstall it. If you want to go back to stock, just reconnect the wire. I did it on my F39, which has the same solenoid as on your car.
You can do this in many many ways, including what you just said, or you can pull the fuse that operates the valve, Or you can put it in sport mode Rev it as soon as the flap opens disconnect it, or you can weld it open as they have done with mine. Or better still change it to a milltek exhaust system and be happy 😃
@@BMWDoctor I set my flap through BimmerLink with no issues. BimmerCode does not have engine upgrades for my 2013 X1. I opened my exhaust flap in BimmerLink, which is basically a poor man’s sports mode.
How can you turn the solenoid into open position? Mine does not seem to work at all and is pretty stiff and is in close. Can you force it with a screwdriver?
My 5 series just disconnect the arm that opens and closes and I used a nail to pin the flapper open. The module thinks it's opening and closing but it's not. 10 minutes max to do.
I put a different muffler on that didn't need the valve. I tucked the plug up and obviously left it unplugged. My gas mileage went way down. Is thus possible caused by deleting the valve? I never got a check engine light. My car is a 23 m440i.
I went to do a muffler delete today on my 2015 n20 328i, the guy told me it wouldn’t be a good idea because that “sensor” on the exhaust (valve actuator) needs to stay there because if not it will throw up engine codes and car will go into safe mod and lose power. Is that true Doc? Am I able to get rid of that valve actuator to get a muffler delete without any problems.
HELP. I’ve recently bought a m135i exhaust to get a dual exit exhaust on my 120D. How do i go about getting the valve cabled up if its a none valved car to begin with? How can i get the valve to work as it normally would?
Congratz Doctor ! im asking help all of u ! Guys my 520 n47 2008 when hits the quarter of th tank car goes OFF ! Still have fuel in the car . i puf fuel in the car and she is starting instantly :( .What can be ? 2 - My fuel pump is noisy i replaced both of them still noisy !! what can be How can i fix this guys ?? :(( im asked lots of mechanics im a mechanic to but this problem here i cannot fix it . PLEASE help :( thank u
hi, i get high O2 readings with it closed....should i keep it open? now its in factory setting and not in sports mod...when its open would it effect my o2 readings?
Why does mine not open on the right side after a muffler delete. Everything is plugged in. And the left side makes an audible rattle when opening closing.
Can I bring my Z4 to you? I've had it for 8 years, never given me a problem and decided I'll never part with it. I want to nake the drive more exciting. 😅
Yeah I know there is now, I think whoever owned this did this when that wasn’t available that’s why they welded it open. Either that OR the actuator was so expensive to buy back then they couldn’t be bothered to replace it. Who knows 🤷♂️
Hello friend, I have a bmw 535i 2009, the battery intelligence sensor replaced it, but the car still keeps throwing me that problem. I would appreciate it if you give me an idea.
Thank you for the video I've learnt a lot I wanna know where all of my sensors are on my bmw 5 30i I need to learn more about my bmw through by your video and again love the videos
On idle my 2011 335i m package will sometimes/eventually gets an engine malfunction light. ill turn the car off for a few hours and then code clears but I've been receiving the code quite a lot more often, any tips on what could be going on?
😂😂😂 I bet these are way way to loud with that flap open. I thought my M5 was loud on cold start this is another level, yet someone wanted it like this permanently. I can’t take it much more 😂
@@BMWDoctor 🤣, Once the car is fully warmed up i personally think its to quiet, I would like it to have a bit of noise on tick over, On WOT on the other hand it's lovely, Looking forward to the Miltek install as I'm unsure what route I'm going to go.
Yeah bro I’m doing that this month I have too, you know what it ain’t even expensive for this car either ! It’s like £700 for the milltek system so I thought f**k it I’m gonna put that on. Makes more sense, I mean mine is way way to loud constantly as the flap never closes so even driving without sport mode it’s just open and loud. I mean don’t get me wrong I like it, but coming from my E60 M5 I can’t take that noise all day everyday when I want to use my M135i as my everyday car. But I got to say I love that N55 rumble 😍 nothing beats it not even the B58 the roar exhaust sound, especially when you plant your foot jhezzzzeeee this thing “MOVES” 😂 I mean let’s just say I had my M5 over a year and didn’t get a speeding ticket, I got this within the first 2 days I got a speeding ticket 😂😂
@@BMWDoctor That's strange to me why you find your car so loud once it's fully warmed up 🤔, Mined has the decat pipe done and it's MHD stage 2+, And still I find it quiet on normal daily driving, Can the exhaust valve be stuck in the closed position? Is your exhaust stock.. I wonder if someone has done the back box mod to yours when they were welding the valve open 🤔
I think they did indeed mate, mine has been gutted and welded therefore it’s very very loud and roars even when your foot ain’t planted 😅 I will have to do a cold start on it before I put the milltek exhaust system so you can hear it, I mean I will even Rev it and you can hear the back pressure from the turbo when it’s revved over 3k 😅 I mean I gotta say I do like it. But I wanted a silent car as all my cars are loud
Drove my E60 520D from The Gambia 🇬🇲 to Ghana .. an experience I won’t forget ever .
Interesting, how was the road and safety?
Are you in the Ghana BMW club or know the members? The car community as a whole would love to hear your story
I bought bimmerlink, can manually control the exhaust valve for 30quid. Better than messing about under the car IMP
I just pulled the plug in the boot of my e82 135i n55 and that keeps the flap open permanently. The cold starts are great!
I’ve done this to my 2013 650i xdrive but I used zip ties to hold the flap open! No issues at all!

Just take out fuse when when the valve is open , then stays open all the time and no fault codes !!
Is there a valve on x6 40 d 20 13
hello where’s the fuse on BMW 7 G12 can you help
Where is this fuse located?

My 330e g21 u can choose engine sound in all modes. U dont have to do this , u can open the valve at start. Maybe this is not the case in older models

hey I've just found this video after picking up my 2013 320i Touring M Sport, do you know if the m sport wagons have a flap/valve also?

Super cool option will try it thanks a bunch
Bimmer gang!!!
I’ve coded to have flaps open all the time do I still need to do this or do I already have values open all the time?

I have a 2004 BMW 530 I ? Do I have two water pumps on my car i can send you the vin number for it
put a golf tee in the vacuum line going to flap in muffler tip on my 128I
I believe there is a dummy plug available from BMW that you plug in when the BMW MPE exhaust is fitted to stop the error message.
Yeah I know there is now, I think whoever owned this did this when that wasn’t available that’s why they welded it open. Either that OR the actuator was so expensive to buy back then they couldn’t be bothered to replace it. Who knows 🤷♂️
Where can I purchase one
Really enjoying the videos on the M135i Dean 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Do the f10 2016 have the exhaust valve
Why would you want them open if it takes longer to warm the engine, you lose power and the back pressure to turbo is lower?? Weird
Who knows why 🤔 old owner welded it open why anyone would do it is besides me 🤔
Indeed! BMW put them there for a good reason.🙄

I have 2015 model 116i petrol twin turbo is it possible to increase the exhaust sound like this.
Hi, i have 540i g30 M sport 2018, if i remove the plug to have the flaps open all the time , i will get an eror in the computer board?

Is there a valve on x6 40d 2013
Work on petrol and diesels?
Lol. Same mod we used to do on the E46 M52's but it was easier when you just take off a vacuum pipe! Ha
Wait.. so performance is better with active valve (shutting and opening)?
I don’t know !
Will this work on a 2010 e90?
Will this work on a diesel? I have a 640d and need some decent mods
Buy a petrol engine and sell the oil burner. That’s the best mod. Ideally a B58.
don’t listen to him^^ man up and get a n63
