Problems with functions and the throttle butterfly in a BMW 4
(Translated from Spanish)
Summary of the thread
A 2013 BMW 4 Series owner is experiencing issues with unavailable vehicle functions and inquires about the operation of the exhaust butterfly valve. The valve typically opens and closes based on engine load and RPM, but when manually opened using an app, it should remain open until manually closed or the engine is turned off. If it doesn't stay open, potential causes could include app malfunctions, software issues, or problems with the valve mechanism. Checking for software updates or consulting a mechanic is advised for resolution.

Once the exhaust butterfly valve opens, how long does it stay open?
The exhaust butterfly valve typically opens and closes based on engine load and RPM to optimize performance and sound. It doesn't stay open for a fixed duration but adjusts dynamically. If you're experiencing issues with it, check for any fault codes or consult a mechanic for a detailed inspection. Let me know if you have any further questions!

When you manually open the exhaust butterfly valve using an app like Carly, it should remain open until you either close it manually through the app or turn off the engine. If it doesn't stay open as expected, ensure the app is functioning correctly and check for any software updates. If the issue persists, there might be a problem with the valve mechanism or the app's connection. Let me know if you need further assistance!
