I work for Sam Swope BMW in Louisville, ky and my none of my management have any ideal what this package includes lol. I just ordered my 335i yesterday and was able to add the PPK. It took us a week to get it ordered and part of the reason I believe is I was trying to add black kidney grilles and M exhaust. Turns out they are actually included in the PPK kit...hopefully. BMW has been doing some odd things this year.

The thread you pointed does speak about the added cooler, but it references that all Msports get the cooler not just the ones with summer tires. Even with the added cooler, I don't see how that would affect top speed limit. Cooling is more important at lower track speeds than at high highway speeds where there is plenty of airflow. It makes sense that the speed limiting factor is the lower speed rating of the AS tires. H rating is good for up to 130mph. V rating is up to 149mph. W rating is 168mph, and then there is Y for 186 and 186+. To have the 155mph limiter the tires have to be at least W rated. The AS tire options are V rated, thus they have to have a lower speed limiter. If anyone finds anything more on this cooler having relation to the speed limiter please post. I'm very interested in knowing if there is a relationship and why. Please post if you find something on that. Last edited by RPM90; 11-14-2012 at 07:34 PM.. |

if that's the case, i'm going to flip out on my dealer. I highly doubt that though...they would be literally discounting it 50% off of MSRP.

I have a sportline with sport auto and I just checked my tires. Continental ContiSportContact 5 SSR Y rated. I'm guessing my speed limit would be 155. Still curious if I need the additional cooler for the PPK.

My car is in route to the VPC and I added Z3B and my dealer couldn't add grilles or exhaust bc they were included in the package. I think everyone is unsure if it is just a glitch at this point or a gift. I would think this is a glitch but if everything is on my car when it arrives I won't be asking any questions.

After my experience today with new parts for the f30,I would be even more incredulous.
BMWUSA has a light if not nonexistent grip on what fits the f30s, what part numbers are correct, and what things cost. I will ask my dealer to ask the local rep about this for those that already purchased the grill and exhaust for a retroactive program...

And actually, at the end, Mahzari quotes e90fleet as saying all 335's have the extra oil cooler.
