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.

Yeah man

[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?

Sadly no exhaust will make our diesels sound good.
Unless you take everything out including dpf and put a straight pipe ...

Afternoon to all

Some of you may have heard about it before. Some not.
Some will hate it and some love it.

Wanted to share my experience with E70 and Exhaust Sound Booster from Insideperformance Germany

Its not for everyone, but me being a car enthusiasts, I needed it and I love it.

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.

Well the way I read it is that I shouldn't have it.
This is a third dealer telling ...

[quote="Horizon"]
PM/ email Cotswold BMW who are members on here with your VIN and that photo of the correct part and ask them is it part number 13717812062
They will quote a discount price for forum members and post out parts

So I have emailed cotswold yesterday as suggested.
Here is ...

[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 what they ...

Looking at realoem

Same part

Bmw x3 30d uk version
Part is greyed out, not avaliable at all, meaning there would be a hole left in it.
No cold climate version available on this diagram.

[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 cars perhaps ...

Is #13 a plate or a " Valve " ?????
[/quote]

Called bypass valve
But looks and obviously according to others is a plastic plate

There is no other item on the diagram that will fit there
And BMW call it bypass valve only because ...

[quote="X5Sport"]
Mine has the plate too.
[/quote]

Any way you can check if there is a BMW part number on it?

[quote="Glen"]
Mine was registered in Edinburgh but has cold climate option not checked the air box yet .
[/quote]

You mean you have cold climate option S842a
But have not checked the filter yet?

Do i read it correct?

If yours is with cold climate then it should have the blanking plate attached

Many thanks
