Sitting in the drivers seat I haven’t noticed any changes to the exhaust note, but in reading the bmw mppk product info ( https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/at...1&d=1441583503) it does mention the following:
The M Performance Power Kit ensures an optimised engine and exhaust system sound. Exhaust bubbling is enabled in "Sport" mode. As a result, the car sounds like 'performance'.
I’ll see if I hear a difference next time I take bae out.

While driving really don’t hear the burbling, but the exhaust note sounds a bit deeper. Also I’ve read from other MPPK threads/members it takes some time for the tune to settle in.
I shot this cold start video the other day and you can definitely hear the burbling.

I’ll have to give that a try.

I definitely feel a difference off the line in comfort mode the power increase is noticeable in both modes. If you’re looking for reduce throttle lag, more low end torque power, smoother shift points and still under warranty IMO MPPK is the way to go.

Yeah he took it from soccer-mom to suck-on-this in a hot minute.

Truthfully the mods were going to be subtle, but I think I went a bit overboard.
