Correct, which means you already decided to before you went out driving around. That is intent and would absolve BMW from any legal issues should someone fight a noise ticket since they now have a system in place where you cannot 'accidentally' open the valves without meaning to.

I think we need more electrical engineers in this forum.
This little red button should be easy to defeat. I am not too worried about it.

You dont need engineer, all you need is just 10 ft of cable, one beer and move that bloody button in the cabin, e.g. below a/c panel. |

Why do you even need to install the stupid button or even the Bluetooth stuff? Can't you just install the exhaust and let the exhaust valve functionality work as stock? May not be as good as having the valve open all the time but close.

If you have the tool and the connector pin into the button is the same type as the connector pin into the car connector you should be able to follow the wire into the button, take it out of the button connector, follow the other wire out of the button, remove that wire from it's connector at the car end and insert the first wire.
Is there a reason this would not work? EDIT: tools like these stop you from boogering up the connectors and pins... http://www.unofficialbmw.com/all/ele...tact_pins.html https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...FQMDaQod-wkFBw Last edited by omasou; 05-03-2017 at 01:37 PM.. |

I also mean not hook up the Bluetooth. Just leave all the electronics alone and let the comfort/sport button work as it does on the stock exhaust.

It does sound good like this but track mode is such an animal you won't want to never have it available . The sport button only gives a few burbles when you lift off the gas and does not open the valves like in the M3/4 |

So the valve control and wiring is different? Could swap the electronics from the stock valve to the MPE valve then and have it work like stock?

This is very simple to get around, either bypassing permanently and having the switch basically act like a toggle instead of a momentary. If not it will need to be set up with a 12v relay that triggers for a short time on power up. (Acting like the momentary button and wired to the same pins.
I don't have an m2 I have an m3 so if someone brings a car to the Tampa/sarasota Florida area hey maybe even Miami I will create and deploy a $50 solution to this problem I promise you And yes, I have my masters in electrical engineering |
