MPPK Install
So, I had it set up to purchase an MPPK from a gentleman on the forum. And by set up, I mean I reached out to him to inquire about one, he said he had one, and I said I wanted one. It didn't really go any further than that...but I digress...
I was at my local dealership and asked my service manager what the install cost would be after I purchased this MPPK. He said they weren't an authorized dealership and couldn't do it. What's up with that? What are my options? I'd like a little more oomph... |

Interesting... you were at your local BMW dealership and your service manager states that they are not an authorized dealership? Clearly he is an idiot... the MPPK is available via all BMW Centers. In fact there is a BMW part number associated to it. See attachment.

OP, just find another dealer, or search this forum, you'll find others who can program it for you remotely (provided you follow their steps w/ PC and cable).

From what I experienced most dealers have no clue about MPPK and never knew it existed.. You have to go to some of the dealers that have done installations in the past.

I've found that the service managers are generally idiots...Sounds like you're on pretty good terms with him. I'd ask him to check with one of his more tenured Service Advisors or the parts department.

I have the same issue with my service advisor, I like him but honestly don't think he understands much, just says what he has been told in the past. He said that their dealership doesn't offer the MPPK for x5's anymore even though they offer it for other n55 engines.. so they won't let me buy one from their parts department nor will they install one. Looks like the remote tuning will have to suffice or can a local tuning shop that works on bmws install it?

Are there any other BMW dealers nearby? I purchased my MPPK from getbmwparts.com https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...ly-11122344610 ( they are selling it for $997.92 no tax) and my dealer wouldn't install it because I didn't purchase from them, so I had to find a different dealer who would provide the service.

What do you gain from MPPK more than some HP?

Anyone come across a dealer in NY/NJ area that can do the install for a reasonable price recently? GetBMWparts has MPPK for $975, lowest I've seen recently. Figured I'd ask before starting to call different dealers!

I had it done at BMW Tenefly, was under $180 for the install, I think I bought the software on some other site as it was cheaper. I got a sense they dont do a lot of these installs, but they were happy to do it once I explained it.
It is def worth it, you will notice a difference. |
