Yes but consider the price of a brand new inlet manifold to replace the swirl flaps.
Although BMW did manage to increase efficiency and reduce emissions by introducing swirl flaps, they only managed to do so by introducing a risky point of failure. It seems negative to remove something doing good, but if the cost of doing good is the large potential of major engine failure, I'd suggest foregoing that.
