MPPK Install at Tenafly BMW

Bought the MPPK via their shopbmwusa site and I can't believe they tried to up the installation labor charge to 2 1/2 hours. Said the extra 1 1/2 is for "reprogramming" and wasn't included.. I guess the first hour is for long coffee break.. LOL

Told them I was going to return the MPPK and the manager agreed to honor their price from their website for $210 install but since they are out of loaner cars I had to reschedule my appointment.

To be continued.....

They did the same with me and ultimately they wouldn't install mine since but I purchased mine from getbmwparts.com for significantly cheaper than Tenafly..

That's brutal about them refusing to install based on where you bought it.

Once I get it installed, it will be the last time I am going to give any business to BMW Tenafly. I jumped on the deal when shopbmwusa shows their purchase and install price quite reasonable but that does it with this up charge scheme...

Gentlemen...

Which now begs the question: Can you (any of you) REALLY feel the difference with the MPPK?

Just askin"...

(I have had mine for a couple of weeks now)

Huge difference for me. If you drive in comfort mode it's much less noticeable obviously

BMW, like other car makers, publish a guide on the number of hours required to perform work or do an install. I would think that this is the same for mppk. Maybe ask to see the sheet. Bmwna should be able to quote it too.

@Stickyxy. The price on shopbmwusa does show both installed and package only prices. The issue I have is they do not honor their price and try to change on you once you are there.
