Wonder why the "sports" models dont have this ?? just because its a sport model doesnt mean the owners thrash them everwhere so dont need quick warmup in the winter ? ( for example )
Im not so sure the non sports have the engine cooling flaps anymore. Im sure ive read that it is only the brake cooling flaps which open as you brake(located in the front bumper) that are the part of active aerodynamics thats included on the 5 and the sport always has brake cooling.

My 2004 545i has them, and it's a German spec car. It was ordered by a Bavarian customer. I don't know if that makes them change it (because Bavaria gets damn cold in winter, we had -20c here this week).

Have them...
We dicussed them in this thread: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...amp;mode=linear
Our 530dA gets warm really fast (with or without the Defa electric block heater on).
How do you know your engine is too cold?

My Ride: 2005 BMW 530d M-Sport TouringExterior: Titansilber Metallic, M5 mirrors, ACS rear roof spoiler, BMW Carbon Fiber rear diffuser, Adaptive Xenon headlights, AngeliBright v.3 Angel Eyes, F1 Autohaus Euphoria 6000K LED license plate lightsInterior: Black
My 2005 E61 M-Sport imported from Erding, Germany (near Munich), does NOT have these shutters.
I keep my car in a heated garage, so no issues. I have had the EGR thermostat upgraded to the "Scandinavian" version.
