Code with Bimmercode Expert mode which will add SPORTY setting to your engine sound menu, which currently has 3 settings:
Depending on driving mode
Balanced
Reduced

The Sporty setting will keep the valve open constantly.

Switch on Expert mode under HU_MGU. Type in the word sound, you'll then see 2 options, enable both.

SOUND KONFIGURABILITY & SOUND KONFIGURATION.

Click code and wait for it to complete, then check your engine sound menu settings and you should see the additional Sporty setting
I’ve done that on my car. It gives me the engine sound option but it does not stick. When I turn the car off and back on later, it reverts to the “Depending on driving mode” setting, irrespective of what I’d selected before.
I meant a coding that would permanently leave the exhaust valve open and only controls the valve actuator and nothing else. The engine sound coding changes the valve actuator as well as the ASD.
