Hahaha. Said every 17-year-old with a Honda. "I can feel the difference!!!!"

Well, believe it or not, BMW is currently replacing the Honda market.
A lot of 2/3/4 series owner are acting like the Civic or Acura Integra owner. While the 5 series owner is acting like an Accord owner. 6/7 series guys are acting like they own an Acura Legend.

While the M cars owners are like the type R owners.

Oh, the "ricer" movement. Just as bad were the same types who bought modular-motor Mustangs and put on a "cold air intake" (such a laughable term), some underdrive pulleys, and a K&N and suddenly had 30 more HP they "could feel pressing them back into the seat."

The placebo effect is directly proportional to dollars spent.

Oh I believe it. The comments are some of these forums are enough proof. The commentary in the 3-series forum can make your head spin sometimes.

Bumping this thread for INFO since I am getting a lot of PM's on MPPK and Racechip information.

s1k0ne · 10-15-2015, 11:25 AM

Honestly, a DYNO is needed to get the actual numbers.
I can feel more power by cutting off the cat with a buttdyno.

However, if you've got the cash to just add a RC on top and don't work for these companies, it's your car and you can do whatever you want with it as long as it feels great to you.

Nice, you gotta bring the F15 crew to Captree with Crashnbrn5 in a month or so.
I should have my X4 M40i by then (355hp/343tq stock)

Kzang · 03-31-2016, 01:29 PM

Wondering if anyone else with MPPK tune has gone up on the Racechip settings higher than S2:C with good results?

You should go for it, it's not a HUGE change but it will be faster for sure.
Better try those settings now than wait for the Summer weather to arrive IMO.
I've went from C to 4 (C,D,E,F,0,1,2,3,4) when I had my X3 lol on the weaker N20 engine. Each setting for 100-200 miles since I was data logging with my OBDLINK LX and seeing thru Live Gauges how much boost i was doing thats the important part.

Any of you know how much extra boost does the MPPK adds before RC ? Then how much after RC on stock setting and each increment should be noted.

The car will throw a CEL when you've reached a higher setting and it wont let you do any damages or harm, so don't be scared.

Kzang · 03-31-2016, 05:57 PM

Yeah I don't have the means to clear the code.. so.. I'm asking if anyone else with MPPK has installed RCU past S2:C. I guess I'll be the first

No worries, code will clear on its own (when you restart the car)
Its only permanent if the issue still persist

Kzang · 04-03-2016, 06:38 PM

I'm in setting D and the car feels good.. Will report back once I've driven it for a week..

Do you notice any different between C and D, with the MPPK?
