Nope. That iDrive setting is for the fake speaker noise, not the valves. If you want the valves open all the time in comfort mode, you'd have to pull the fuse. Anyway, I don't own an M550i yet, but I almost always have to drive my vehicles in sport mode, due to a lethargic normal mode. Don't know if the M550i is any different, but probably not. Bottom line is if you drive in sport mode all the time, the valves would be open all the time, so no need to remove the fuse. However, the speaker noise gets louder in sport mode, so what I plan to do is lower it to the minimum (reduced), and see if I can live with that or not. If not, then just code it out, since I'll do all my maintenance, and will need an app to reset the annoying service reminders anyway. Hope this helps.
