What is M Power Kit?

Is that just a software or something else?

Does M power kit come with M-sport Package?

So confused

Thanks for your answers.

The MPPK is a BMW developed and sold engine tune that provides increased HP and torque and better throttle response and "sound". I do not believe it is part of the M-sport package.

No, the M Performance Power Kit colloquially known as MPPK is not a part of the M Sport Package. I am not familiar with a "sound" increase unless you opt for the M Performance Exhaust (MPE).

I have it and it sure sounds different to me...

Doesn't it stand to reason that any changes to throttle response and shift points would change the "sound" of the car?

[Codinchen]

Perhaps. I really cannot verify since I had the MPPK installed along with the MPE. Quicker throttle response and higher shift points only serve to provide a more sensitive throttle application via pedal depress and keep it in the usable power band longer respectively. A pre MPPK engine running at 4500RPM I think would sound the same as one post MPPK. Again, this is just conjecture on my part since I had the exhaust installed in combination.

[Codinchen]

Nonetheless, I do like the sound though.

The software upgrade itself DOES make the exhaust note louder and deeper. It also adds a little pop with overrun. The exhaust obviously adds another level of meatiness. This is based on my experience with the software upgrade with stock exhaust.
