I’ve tried this with my current vehicle (December 2019 production date) but nothing happens. Asked the Bmw technicians at my local dealership and they said it only opens when the engine is at a certain temperature. Can anyone confirm this ?

Cheers
During the hot summer months my grille stayed open all the time after the car got up to operating temperature. In the colder weather it's not open as much after I park unless I've been doing some spirited driving in sport+.

I assume that it closes on the highway to improve aerodynamics but of course I can't see it so who knows.
