Finally had the MPPK installed on my 2015 X5 today. I went to Fort Myers BMW for the install. They matched the lowest price I found online, and I wound up paying $1188 out the door. Had the oil and filters changed too, under warranty. So far, so good. Haven't really had a chance to get on it too hard, but I definitely notice the pull in sport mode. Torque is strong in the midrange. I'll report back when I get more time in the drivers seat.

For sure. Enjoy the MPPK first and bump it up with RC when you start to get bored.

You will notice the difference after a tank full. The engine needs to adjust to your new tune.

I've been contemplating this, but with this being our family car, I wasn't sure if it was worth it. Does the tune have any effect on steering stiffness, bc I would jump on it if so. Any difference in comfort mode?

No major difference in comfort mode, yet. No change in steering stiffness at all. I did get a chance to take the wife to dinner last night, and drove in sport mode most of the way there. Power is definitely noticeable in sport mode, although as the other forum members have said, I think it's going to take a week or so for the computer to learn the new tune. They did all the other software updates too, so the X5 probably doesn't know what to do with itself at this point. I don't hear the cracks and pops from the exhaust as others have mentioned, but that may be a matter of time too. I'm happy, and think it's worth it.

I noticed that there is a sticker in what seems like under the hood and a horsepower screen that shows 400hp. I'm looking to purchased a used X5 and wanted to know how to tell that it was installed on the vehicle. What about other tunes? Is there a way to tell? Also, is there an advantage with stacking this with race chip or just going with race chip from the start?

I do not believe other tunes affect the sport display. In fact, the service advisor said that's a common complaint from his Dinan customers, that the sport display doesn't increase the hp/tq. I can't verify that, but that's what he said.

So, I've now had the MPPk for a week. I've tried to drive at all different speeds and RPMs. I can say this; I don't feel a major difference in comfort mode. However, in sport mode it's a whole different animal. The power is noticeable throughout the rev range, and the torque push is addictive. It pulls hard to redline. The midrange power is where, I feel, the biggest improvement is. I will try to take video of the exhaust note under power so ya'll can hear what it sounds like. Stay tuned... |

I was able to get my local dealership to price match Dinan's online sale price and complete the installation for me. I also read a lot of reviews that stated the difference in Comfort mode was negligible with the MPPK. I didn't want to have to switch to Sport mode and have the higher shift points etc...when really most of the time I just want that extra power in Comfort mode. Ability to turn it off/on via the Dinan app is also a nice touch and discount on upgrading if another stage is developed. On the downside of going with Dinan, I hear there are some cooler exhaust burbles with MPPK and stock exhaust and you get the screens that show the increased HP/TQ maximums. I ended up getting the MPE so that does negate the downside of going with the Dinan (at least for me). With that said, I have zero regrets with going with the Dinan. I love the improved power felt in all modes and have had no issues with the car since it's been installed.

Do you remember what the dinan online price sale was? My dealer is quoting me a little under $2K for product and install. I’m on the fence about upgrading the software. I guess it sounds like everyone is noticing a difference. |
