dAHLer Exhaust Valve Control Module, IP68-Rated | Single Valve
dAHLer BMW Tuning, with headquarters in Switzerland, has been the leading source of high-performance BMW tuning parts and BMW accessories since 1996. dAHLer Competition Line offers a broad range of BMW, BMW M, BMW Plug-in Hybrid and BMW Mild Hybrid tuning performance products that will transform your stock BMW into a true Ultimate Driving Machine.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR BMW’S EXHAUST SOUND — ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
Introducing the 2025 updated IP68-rated dÄHLer Exhaust Valve Control Module (Single Valve) — the ultimate solution for anyone who wants full command over their BMW or BMW M’s factory exhaust valves. Developed in Switzerland and made in Germany, this plug-and-play device lets you manually open and close the stock exhaust flaps on demand, delivering the sound and character your car has been hiding, when you want it.
With the dÄHLer Exhaust Valve Control Module installed, you gain full manual control to open and close your BMW’s standard built-in exhaust valves whenever you want. Operation is simple — either use the included remote control or seamlessly program the system to your existing mirror buttons for a clean, factory-integrated experience (not available in Australia). The valve opens fully to 100%, delivering a true and noticeable boost in exhaust sound, especially on models like the G8x M2/M3/M4 where the stock valves rarely open all the way.
OPEN Button | Keeps exhaust valves fully open until the engine is turned off
CLOSE Button | Instantly reverts back to the factory valve settings
Installation is straightforward and can be completed by anyone with basic experience. The controller connects directly to your BMW’s original (OEM) wiring harness — simply unplug the factory connector, plug it into the dÄHLer module, and then connect the module’s output to the exhaust valve actuator.
The entire install happens in the trunk and underbody, using existing cable ducts or unused sealing plugs to route the wiring externally. Power is drawn directly from factory plugs, so there’s no need to run additional cables through your vehicle’s interior.
Also designed with safety in mind, the dÄHLer Exhaust Valve Control Module stops the exhaust flap from closing permanently to protect your engine from harm during full-throttle conditions.

Touched base with Sean to do some coding work on my F85 X5M. Not only was he a whiz with the tech stuff, knowing his way around without any difficulty. Very rare to find someone like Sean - I happily rate and recommend this business for anyone.

After 3 other BMW workshops couldn't fix the problem with my M3. SouthernBM sorted it. Excellent to deal with, great communication and customer service.

My first dealing with Southern BM was a pleasant one. I had some springs and shocks installed and Sean was a delight to deal with. Knowledgeable, helpful and offered solutions when not everything went to plan. I would happily recommend them.
