Stacking MPPK?

I'm contemplating some tuning upgrades for my 35i. This forum has been a great source of info in my research. For those that have the MPPK, has anyone stacked a RC RS, or JB1? I'm mostly concerned with drivability, and reliability. I still have a couple years left under the warranty. I'm definitely doing the MPPK, but was wondering if it's worth it to stack one of the other piggy back mods on top of it, and whether it delivers smooth, reliable performance. Any feedback would be great.

There are many threads out there covering this.

Short answer: yes, it’s definitely worth it (IMO)

Thanks, Violator. In my search efforts, I wasn't able to dig up a lot of reliability info, which may mean people haven't had any problems? I see you had MPPK stacked with RC at one point. Did you, or have you had any issues related to the tune?

Originally I had the MPPK stacked with RC Ultimate, upon the release of the GTS series I upgraded. I didn’t have any issues with either units stacked w/MPPK.
I’ve had a RC unit on the vehicle and stacked from the week I took delivery in Bitburg, Germany, zero issues or warranty concerns. It has been to the dealership for service in Germany and in the US without any mention of the unit being installed.

Here are a few that cover this topic, I know there are several members that have stacked the MPPK with other tunes, but I dont recall reading any negative reviews/feedback.


Congrats on the X5, and endless mods to come.
