Ummh. Is it time to make a poll on who
A. Opened their flap/valve on the second pipe, and likes it.
B. Opened but decided closed is better, for whatever reason.
C. Leave it alone, BMW knows what their doing.
Leave comments also on performance and sound difference (before and after)
Thanks realtyman for starting this thread.

so you need to add,
F. Those who pushed the valve, like it, but still are going to spend $1000.00 for aftermarket.
G. Those who pushed the valve, like it, but would still spend $1000.00 for aftermarket, but are not going to because they are leasing.

H. Lease the car, spend the grand anyway, save the stock muffler, spend a few hundred to put the stock muffler back on when the lease is up, drive away in a new M5, wonder if it needs an aftermarket exhaust, look for valve...
