Rich not sure which M50d model you driving, but if it's F15 your car is equipped with as you called it "spokey dokeys" as standard from factory.

Re: X5 e70 40d Active Sound Exhaust Booster Experience

[quote="Nictrix"] Sounds pretty good but excuse my ignorance, what exactly has been done to get the sound? Is it a new exhaust or something that is controlled by an app? [/quote] Sadly no exhaust will make our diesels sound good. Unless you take everything out including dpf and put a strai...

Re: X5 40d Air Filter Housing Missing Part?? Bypass Valve

[quote="Nictrix"] A lot of money for a small bit of plastic. At least you know that you can buy the part. Shame you don't know why yours doesn't have it when others do, with or without cold climate option. [/quote] Well the way I read it is that I shouldn't have it. This is a third dealer ...

Re: X5 40d Air Filter Housing Missing Part?? Bypass Valve

[quote="Nictrix"] Just to add that my car is June 2010 so is also an early car. From BMWs point of view your car is correct and ours are wrong as they dont have the cold climate option. It could well be what X5Sport says and our cars were an oversight and had it fitted by accident as thats...

Re: X5 40d Air Filter Housing Missing Part?? Bypass Valve

[quote="X5Sport"] Mine is a UK car and has it fitted though.....  ???  In which case it should be standard on a UK car, or at least that would be my view.  It almost looks like a bypass door as used on jet engines at high power settings to pull in extra air - warm air in the case of these ...
