The Sporty mode is coded in advanced settings:

Open Bimmercode and to to Head unit
Click on Expert mode
In the search box look for Sound
There will be 2 entries:

DISPLAY MENU CONFIGURATION_ENGINE_SOUND
* Select and click ENABLED Check box

DISPLAY CONFIGURABILITY ENGINE SOUND
* Select checkbox ACTIV

Complete by coding option
You will now have a "sporty" setting in the engine sound menu

Of note during cold start the valve stays closed and can be operated only after cold start has finished. Options can be selected in iDrive. I think this is a better way than leaving the valve permanently open
Thanks for the info, this is very helpful! Just to clarify this sporty mode just keeps the valve open in the exhaust all the time except for on cold start right? This doesn't have anything to do with the active sound correct?

Yes, I've tested this with an auxiliary valve and it does just that. After cold start it can be switched but keep in mind sport+ has more effects both internal and external
