228i Exhaust flap keeps opening and closing on throttle application

Hi all,

So I've had this problem since I bought the car. I took it to the dealership and they assured me that this is completely normal and is working as intended but the more I read about how the flap works the more weird the behavior of my exhaust flap seems.

On cold start it doesn't move until the car is warmed up, then you can clearly hear it open up. When I apply the throttle, it closes and opens up again. When I let go of the throttle at low speed it closes again, as soon as I apply the throttle it opens up again and then closes and opens up again.

Basically, as soon as I put my foot on the throttle, it opens up, as soon as I let go it closes again. I've only noticed this happening at low speed (5-10km/h).

This happens in Comfort, Sport and Sport+.

Does anyone else experience the same behavior?
