My early 2012 build F30 finally had it's BMW M-PPK installed last Wed at the dealer. Then on Sunday it got a Challenge DP (in my garage).
Because everything happened so close, I didn't have a lot of comparison time. I maybe put 30 miles on the car between the upgrades. I can say the Sport Displays were updated from a max range of 320/320 to 400/400 like others have stated. They pegged at 320/320 after the MPPK; and immediately after the DP install I spotted them ranging more towards 350hp. Further testing at WOT is def necessary, and I should try to hook up my GoPro to safely verify really. I also want to use it to get some exhaust audio. I can hear the cackle - lightly - in pretty much any gear off-throttle no matter if it's 5000 or 2500 rpms.
Overall, there's not a lot of increased sound inside or outside the cabin. There's probably 10% more when in the throttle, maybe more but nothing that's gonna turn heads. I've had cars in the past with full catless exhaust, so that's my measuring point! RPM's on this awesome 8sp trans make a difference too.
More to come. Hopefully audio/video whenever I have time.
