What does the MPPK do?
Hi All,
Wanted to know what exactly does the MPPK do to the car? Is it that noticeable? I wanted to added it to my 2016 M-Sport that's coming in, but the online site doesn't really say what you get for it. |

It is purely a software tune. There are no parts that come with it other than the software and a couple of stickers for the engine and side skirts. Cost is usually 950-1050$ (most will match GetBMW price)plus 50$ for install. Do not let the dealer try to get any more from the install. If you are leasing, do it now so you can roll the price into your lease and only pay for 40% or so. |

Yes. They quoted me the same. Its a rip off. They told me that they had to install an air intake, which is false, there is no hardware to install. It is purely a software ECU flash. They try to charge you for the time it takes to download the software from BMW's website. Ridiculous.
I got them down to 50$. Most get between 30$-130$, the latter is about 1 hour labor. |

The throttle response and gear shifting is more agile and responsive , throttle blips around 2.2k RPM and burbles, WOT there is engine over run sound or the "farting" exhaust sound, sounds like a fast basketball dribble in the cabin
Sport Display is set to 400hp/400tq, acceleration feels faster |

I had the MPPK installed after 2 weeks of getting the car. Big improvement. Feels fun to drive again!
BTW, Why does the sports display show 400/400 when that's not what the x5 has after the MPPK?

Dinan measured a 335i to be around 325hp, which is 5 more than BMW claims. The 25 extra ponies isn't cutting the the 0-60 time by 1/2 a second. The extra power combined with the reduced throttle lag works together to improve the launch.

interesting, so with dinan on top, you could potentially be looking at a whole second + off the 6.1?? that's quite a boost...

The MPPK without a doubt changes the way the exhaust sounds. I use to have all types of ecu tunes on my 335 and each one made my car sound different as well. Alan

Google BMW F15 MPPK and you will find it for $995
still have to find someone to install it though. I just ordered it, will see how it compares to my RaceChip Ultimate.

getbmwparts sells it for 995.. My BIG doubt is if I really can install it, because I have NBT retrofitted...and maybe dealer will program the car...
