There is a valve that keeps the left exhaust closed until a certain rpm and vacuum is reached. At that point, it opens the other side. Pretty clever bit of engineering to make sure the engine and exhaust are working together for optimal performance (which for BMW DOES include efficiency and emissions as part of that target).
