Search, open flaps and pull the fuse. It's incredibly easy

Just an FYI, it's an internal flap (on only 1 side) between the muffler and tips, no baffles involved there.

I downloaded BimmerLink app. Allows you to "open" "close" or "Auto" the flaps. Does a lot more. That was my main reason for downloading it

To be clear, this option requires the OBDC dongle be attached at all times.
