I've been thinking about doing this but haven't had a chance. Really waiting for more aftermarket options.

Not worth it imho. In Sport + and the button “on”, the valves are open at start up and the lower gears part throttle and wot. It does close at part throttle/high gear. That’s the only advantage to pulling the plugs. For me, that’s a drone zone....so no advantage.

In my experience, the valves never opened at cold startup, and never opened in lower rpm range. I'm very happy I unplugged, and would be glad to do a DIY if there are still people interested. Again, if you detect any drone, completely reversible.

That does make it worry free.Plus, the M5 is so well insulated you probably would not hear a drone like the X5M. But, I’ve verified with a light, if the settings are correct, (can be confusing) they are open at start up and part throttle. There is a trick to cold start. The settings have to be correct and it takes one tap of the throttle to activate. Ask my neighbors,,,,,lol.
