- Just a quick video showing you two ways of making your 2022 BMW X3 M40i stock exhaust much louder. Also, a third mod that compliments the loudness.
***Please ignore the white hair in my nose. I am getting old. It's not a booger!!*****
I have a 2020 model and my exhaust sounds way better. I believe BMW muted the entire system in the LCI x3m40i. In sports mode, the pre-lci has a very noticeable exhaust rumble and the burbles are awesome. To get the best sound from the 2022+ models, i think a downpipe (catted or catless) is the best way to improve the sounds. Add a tune to adjust the set up and you're good to go😊
I have heard that the pre LCI sounds much better! Just could never compare. It sounds good but yes I agree that a proper down pipe would make it just right. It’s on the list of many things 😅
Hey man no one gives a crap about your old BMW don't compare your old piece of crap BMW to this guy's brand new BMW even though yours might sound better I take the new one any day over your old piece of crap
Hi mate! I have 2023 x3 3.0 E. With the same valve on left exhaust. Will it work for me also?
If the same fuse controls the valve I doing see a reason for not working.
I let my m40i warm up and switch from comfort to sport+ but do not hear the valve opening or closing. Not sure why.
You can look to see if they open.
Do an email and a metal pipe as next mod :) unlock an extra 150 hp :)
I am thinking turbo dump pipe straight out of the hood!
I’m assuming none of this applies with 2023 X3 M comp with the sport exhaust. Theres a a button to press which will leave valves open all the time which is how I drive it, since pulling away from dealership day 1, it doesn’t get old nor is it overwhelming, it’s my daily driver. Sometimes I wish it was just a tad louder with burbles. Anyone have suggestions for that w/o spending $2-3k for a full exhaust?
Wish the m40i had the same button! I think adding downpipes will be great to increase sound and keep the OEM catback.
does this work on a xdrive30i ? will it damage the car ?
If you have exhaust valves it should but I am not familiar with the 30i
You realize that is a heat shield, and pushing that wire into it will possibly melt that wire away eventually. Best bet is to zip tie it. Just food for thought
Not sure how you are looking at this but the wire is literally plugged in the valve that’s part of the exhaust and now it’s tucked behind the heat shield.
Can't seem to unplug the connector with any might I use...dunno if I'm doing it wrong or if I'm supposed to unclip something. I have a 2021 M340i
If I remember there is a tab you have to lift or press to release the connector. You shouldn’t need much force if any.
@@LifeofPandK I think I might need pry it up a bit with a flat-head, will give that a shot
i get im late to this review but did you not see that you can remove the fuse for the exhaust flaps? so you turn the car to sport mode go to the back of the car and remove the fuse for the exhaust flaps leaving them open. The fuse is located in the rear tailgate area on the right passenger side. then you do not have a hanging plug that ends up getting rusted. YOU DO NOT NEED CODING AND YOU DO NOT GET ANY CODES PLEASE UNDERSTAND ITS SO MUCH EASIER THAN THIS VIDEO ITS LITERALLY A 10 AMP FUSE.
Yeah I pointed how to do it and behind what panel the fuse box is located to remove it but didn’t do it on video. Both are ways that work it just depends what you want to do. It’s still not clear what the fuse controls. On some forums they mention that it controls other things other than just the exhaust flaps.
@@LifeofPandK now you got me worried. I haven’t had any codes tho
It’s not fully proven but a person was digging around deeper and he was able to find some parameters being controlled by the fuse. If I recall nothing critical but some support systems.
Thanks for the great tip👍
Thank you for watching :).
Is the open valve what makes the pops and bangs? On an '18 m40i. If so, thats too much for me. I like the growl and being a little louder but the pops are too much around town.
The 2022s have less pops and bangs but yes there are more pops. However for me that’s not enough.
How do I put it back to normal after putting the valve back in?
After you out the fuse in? Just turn off the car and back on it will go back to normal.
@@LifeofPandK I didn’t touch the fuse just the plug in the left exhaust. I followed ur steps for unplugging it but now when I plug it in. Sport mode is quiet and comfort is loud.
That’s odd behavior. Should reset itself open vs close.
When starting the car does the car need to be in sport or sport plus?
Sport plus will have the valves wide open then you can remove fuse or disconnect
So I did it, but it still sounds the same smh😑
Very useful video
Thank you for the kind words!
Are u still running your car in this setup? Any issues that you noticed afterwards?
No I out the fuse back on. Call it getting older but I like adjusting the sound via the valve. 😂
@@LifeofPandK ok P
Having the valve open all the time will annoy you. I installed the CG Precision valve controller on my 22'. With CG precision downpipe lots of burble on overrun with the valve open
I plan on eventually getting a catted downpipe which should free up some more noise and I think I will be happy then with the sound but for now it works.

@inasntkobe how long has it been since you got the catted CG downpipe? Any CEL? I see their site shows they have thousands of km/miles with no CEL. I’m debating between that and the active autowerkes catted DP. I run the evolution Racewerks catted one and have CEL on my ‘23 and just waiting/hoping some company in the US can do the DME unlock for tuning so I’d like to switch DPs to get rid of the CEL for now for peace of mind.
@@loggy7888 near 1 year and 25,000 km and no CEL.
I can’t tell the difference. Does it sound louder in person?
The difference would be mainly in the modes because the flaps stay open all the time now.
@@LifeofPandK thanks, it does make a slight difference. A few months ago I did the fuse method and couldn’t tell the difference and may have caused and electrical issues with my comfort access lol. This method was super easy and I used some electrical tape to cover the connectors and made things neater.
This is a good way to reduce torque. Well done.
Would probably be a negligible difference.
@@wat2875It’s considerable at lower rpm’s
@@kerplunk38880 I've run open valves on almost every sports car I've owned and my butt dyno + race box have never detected an actual change. Usually it's the sound difference that skews it because more noise = more expectation of speed and vice versa.
At these power levels, I'm not convinced by the back pressure argument.
@@wat2875As long as your butt dyno says it’s true it must be true
@@kerplunk38880 You missed the race box part btw, you know, the thing that actually measures this non-existent difference?
dude just make ur individual mode costum to u
I know how it feels to be desperate for attention. I've tried everything, too.
Recently scored a cherry Toyota Corolla - 2003. Straight-piped and totally pimped it.
The babes have taken note. And, quite a few dudes.
Hoping to sew some wild oats. I'll keep the community posted on any success.
Please do I am now invested in your tubenovela. Corolla and the babes!
Omg…americans…🤦♂️
Hahahaha nah Eastern Europeans!
Is this works on 2024 X5 stock ?
Not sure on the schematics but if the fuse controls the same module it should.
@@LifeofPandK will this sound works without adding catless only stock ? I mean Is this sound only by removing valve cable !
Basically this opens the valves all the time in any driving mode.
