I've spent over a decade modding cars and I can tell you first hand this isn't much. A 335i with the power pack will probably give you .2 seconds/2mph or so in the 1/4 mile as an example. That's only 2 car lengths. It's a very slow pull to get 2 car lengths over a 1/4 mile and not something that's you're going to feel pinning you back to your seat. Most people would struggle to tell which car was faster if they drove both.
This is exceptionally true... my thoughts are go with one of the aftermarket's (BMS, etc.) that will give you 50/60+ or else there's no reason to waste your money for a 7% power increase which is what you'll get with the PPK
