My dealership lists this at $599 + labor.
I called their parts dept and they know nothing about this being a limited time pricing. As far as they can tell, this is regular price. Anyone can confirm? |

Wish you had not said that. Got an appointment in two days to get the flash. Was hoping there would be a little difference.I will post if there is any noticable difference in preformance. We could probably get the stickers off E bay for a couple bucks.

And some people here claim that BMW detuned the cars with an ECU update, to avoid HPFP issues. What if they decide to do that with the performance upgrade?

I bet your dealer got it wrong. I got mine done about three weeks ago and the difference is substantial, particularly in the mid range. Torque increase feels like much more than the quoted 17ft lbs. Take it back to the dealer to have it redone.

PPK
Getting my stage 1 Monday. I previously had an E36M3 and E46M3 before this, and the stock performance is just as good as the E46M3. Can't wait for the tune Monday!

$1987 PPK Version 2 installed and out the door. Make sure they have ALL of the parts, I had to wait a few days due parts that did not come with kit. Only drove home but no real highway time but no lag at all very different "fast" throttle response. More later.

Performance Power Kit
Picked my car up today after having PPK installed. Can definitely feel it and hear it. My car sounded really good before (stock exhaust), but is somewhat louder now, and more burble and pops when backing off the throttle or downshifting.

Sorry you can't "feel it". But I think it's noticeably quicker and more responsive. I feel like you don't even have to press the sport button anymore. One way to tell may be to listen for the "burble". I noticed a change in exhaust note as soon as I started the car at the dealership. It revved much lower than usual and climbed instead of instantly hitting the high idle. Then the "burble" feature is very noticeable when downshifting aggressively or abruptly letting off around 4k.

I've been thinking about getting this done to my car but I think it would be a good idea to get a DYNO done before taking it to the dealer to establish a baseline and then get the tune and then have it DYNO'ed again. What happens if the results don't show any increases in HP or torque?

I most certainly will post them. Just have to get the car first.... it's about to dock tomorrow morning at Port Hueneme finally! I'm planning on getting the baseline done within the next 30days then get the tune installed as an early Christmas present to myself. Should have it all done by first week of December.

I just cancelled my appointment for tomorrow to get the software installed. I think I'll wait until I see a couple dyno results.

^ Oman, Do it!
I just got my car back yesterday and it is a substantial inprovement is power and drivability. The throttle respnse is instant, even in automatic mode (I have a step). The sport and manual mode are VERY VERY responsive. Also, I have noticed a deeper exhaust note...kinda nice. The car just wants to go fast at all times... I paid 726.00 (parts, tax and labor) for the PPK 1.
