You can plug in an enet adapter with bimmerlink and control it manually via an iPhone app, and I used that to confirm the sound I was expecting really wasn't there.
If you truly did have it open and close with just changing drive modes then I'm really surprised. I don't think I've heard anyone with a 50i have that happen. Or at least never saw someone post it until you. If that's all true then it seems like what happened is that with the update you actually got the exhaust operating the true way it was meant off the factory line lol. I think everyone would've rather had the setup you had before the change.
