Got it from Dalmatino here in the forum classifieds for $670.00
How long did it take to get a response from Dalmatino?
It took a while but the price was worth it.

Mine is in!

I don't feel like the car is faster, but it's hard to tell for me... I haven't had the car long and mostly wife has driven it. The throttle does seem more responsive (I assume throttle mapping changed) and I feel like it shifts ever harder in S1 S2 etc mode...

Wife said she def feels like and it was $475 well spent. I'll be honest though, I'd be disappointed at the MSRP price for it which is like 1200-1300 dollars installed.

Would love to see if bm3 made me "wow"

Agreed, didn't feel much and definitely not enough for spirited driving. Gotta put that piggyback on top

I'd have to agree. Even though i can definitely feel a bump overall, it's a little underwhelming.

What I like the most is the kick from a dead stop in Sport+ and how it "bangs" the shifts. Noticed a sound Improvement too.

All in all my perception is the the MPPK is a little of a marketing effort mixed with some Power and is overrated. Although is a good platform to stick a piggy back on top, which is what I'll be doing when my CPO runs out.

I agree that if I would've paid full retail price, I would have been very disappointed.

Look into RaceChip, they have a few options for the F15, I'm pretty sure Ben from RG sport is watching this thread and can help you out.

I have a GTS Black on my 328d and the difference it made was amazing.

I bought my Racechip rs from Ben, it's definitely an improvement. It's all I'm using on my 35i. Highly recommend Ben, he's very helpful and knowledgeable. Answered all my questions quickly.

I recommend Ben at RGSport too to get your Racechip. You will feel the improvement when stack on top MPPK.

Already wrote him! I remembered him posting about that stuff.

Looking at 65 hp or so from stock. So probably about 30 w mppk.

Gotta decide if it's worth the money to add another 30ish hp for the price.

I think RaceChip (or any other chip tune) is power you will notice.

Might need colder and smaller gapped spark plugs though; there is a thread on this.

Just installed Bootmod3 BM3...all I can say is wow it's definitely much much more noticeable than MPPK just rode in one with it and my F15 feels 100% like another car. SO much power and super smooth delivery. Can't believe I was waiting on the MPPK while I had this option just sitting there.
I was going to go Racechip until I read some people having rough shifting here and there.
SO glad I finally pulled the trigger on it. I'll post up a clip of the burbles in a min.

Looking forward to drive your car.

Not sure what others has been mentioning about shifting issue.
A lot of details that is not revealed. Which RaceChip, Engine type, Which driving mode, etc.
I am always all ear about that, even though it is not my products.

Yeah I read a few people had rough shifts here and there but overall RaceChip always has had great reviews If I would've gotten the MPPK I would've definitely paired it with the RC. Haven't tried it myself but after driving around in an F15 with just the MPPK it's a very different feeling plus a good amount of noise from the exhaust and you can fine tune it to what you want louder and longer burbling or none. Pretty crazy how much you can customize things.

No, not with the MPPK with bootmod3. You can tune the exhaust to your liking.


Hahaha that's what I said about this one but now idk...
