Maybe because you're from Jakarta, Indonesia. Actually the new F10 has this now for the US market, and it is to restrict cooling.

indonesia is a tropic country, 25-30'celcius all year round and Jakarta has a bad traffic..
i think it's a bad thing to restrict cooling.. perhaps in colder country this flap will function well..

I got 520i, I put mtech with hamman add on. Currently my car on the shop, change the mirror with m5 style mirror. Cant wait to see it.

I am still out of the country, I will post my e60 once I got back to Indo.

Inspire its the best modify shop for BMW in Indo. I read some people in this forum use inspire too. Right choice.

My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i E61, alpine white, cream-beige interior, sports-auto-transmission and a lot more-
Default

just my 2 cents:

ma last car had these flaps(525D) my new car(530i) doesn't have any flaps.

I always wondered why, but I never had enough balls to remove the flaps, maybe because winter time in germany is a little harder than indonesia .

I know that they are made for engine cooling and/or climate control..but why doesn't my 530i have these flaps?

what year was your 525D build?
because in indonesia every e60 from 2005-now don't have this flap, only the early model has it..
if you live in cold country i think it is appropriate to have this..
