I was not particularly interested in coding a permanent solution but wanted a temporary one where i could choose when to have the flap open and when not too. This is why I figure i would ask about the bimmerlink/ bimmercode options. As i see they have an option to control the exhaust flap.

I dont always want my flap open on cold starts, my neighbors think Its loud enough already, but would be fun to be able to make it really aggressive sometimes when out on a meet or such.
Maybe i have it backwards. I just hear it move, ill check next time.

Well coding isnt "permanent" its just that you have to recode when you want to change it. They do have options to control it, but i dont think you can add custom logic or anything, just mess with preconfigured settings. I would check that section of the forums though as the more experienced coders will know.
No ofcourse coding wouldnt have to be permanent. Although it would be easier using an application like bimmerlink, than having to connect to the car with a mobile/ laptop to change some variables every time i would like to do a louder cold-start. Then turn them off after Its done.
Which is why I was asking about the application functionality
