Bluetooth OBD Link and BimmerLink Installed
Just set these up today. It’s cool that I can set the exhaust flaps to open. Lots of pops and crackles now! Much simpler than buying and after market exhaust. I can turn it on or off depending on if the family is in the car or its just me.

Something to note, based on an app store review it seems temporary. I.e., you do it each time the car wakes up.

Maybe they changed something, but there was one very unhappy person who left a one-star review I believe.. saying it's completely useless they have to do this every time.

I haven’t gone on the highway yet but no droning around town. I would say it’s only a modest increase in volume, maybe half the increase of what you might expect from a cat back system. Also at idle it’s hard to tell but when you rev it up then you notice it much more. That’s probably why some in the other chat rooms have mentioned welding in an X-pipe without the baffling further up in the system.

Ultra which G05 do you have? I have the 50i and I didn't realize any of the models could create crackles and pops. I've never been able to get that unless I'm not trying hard enough. And is Bimmerlink good for anything else noteworthy? I have Bimmercode but not sure paying for the full version of link is worth it for just exhaust flap.

There are some interesting features in BimmerLink but honestly I only cared about the exhaust flap. You can turn off the amplified exhaust through the speakers and see a bunch of real-time sensor data like exhaust temp, oil, trans, temp, boost pressures etc. I thought about the Bimmercode app but the only thing I can think would be useful is turn on the car from the key fob, if it does that. |

I have whatever the standard M50i keep fob is, and when I press the lock button 3 times it doesn’t start the car. But I do have the app which I can do it from there but that’s not as convenient.

I think you have to press 3 times and hold on the last time. If you can remote start from the app, you can do it from the FOB. The FOB has pretty decent range too - the only thing I don't like is there's no confirmation it actually happened if you're not within viewing distance of the car.
