A Muse's figures don't surprise me at all. I've had the PPK on my 330d for a few weeks now and the differences I've noticed are not dramatic - smoother power delivery in Comfort when the engine has reached temperature and a sense that the car is quicker in Sport (gear changes feel very rapid)
I don't regret buying it but certainly wouldn't have bought it for the change in Comfort alone as its too subtle. So I'm glad there's a Sport option on the auto box!

Not quite as powerful as the 335D engine then, but close.

i expect that my poor english level is enough to have a good understanding of your message. This bench records the transmission's losses during deceleration for each véhicule with great accuracy, for instance it suits for ATV to measure some 0.5 hp difference. After that this loss is added up with wheels result to give the final curve Here is another bench result with PPK in France, before and after a new chiptuning, same result: |

A Muse,
If I read that correctly, the graph above is a PPK equiped car that has had further non-OE mapping done on top to bring power from 288 > 334ps?

Ok so I finally got my PPK fitted today. I bought the kit from Harry Fairbrurn Giffnock in Scotland who currently have a offer on for £899 incl vat and posting. I however got it for £810 which is a great price.
My local dealer In P.Boro fitted it for £150 but kept it over night as there were download problems on a busy server to Germany. Anyway I have to agree with what others have said that the power is alot more instant and smoother. In Sport it's just dam right aggressive. Really does push you in to the seat alot more. Only had a short drive so far but feels alot better. The M sport dials now show 640 nm Pretty pleased overall. |

£1,350 sounds like a bargain. If the MPPK for the 340i only cost that much, I'd be ordering it now! Glad you're enjoying the extra fun factor

That's a damn good price you got there. I paid £1200 all in incl VAT and thought I'd done well I've done around 1500 miles since my MPPK was fitted. At first I was a bit under-whelmed but am growing to appreciate the subtle differences, and now in normal as well, where at first it was barely noticeable but now there is an instant and distinct surge on gear changes Anyone who says it's changes the car completely is talking out of their butt dyno. It's subtle as I've said before, making the power delivery that much more urgent and instantaneous Not sure if I'd spend the money again, knowing what I know now, as the engine was bloody good to start with

One thing I seem to have notice from reading up alot is people's opinions seem to differ on the PPK.
Not sure if each one is ever so slightly different or people's perspective is etc. Or a bit of both may be? Not driven my one much since yesterday but I noticed the difference in comfort straight away. Traction control light alot easier to light up that's for sure. Plus much more shove in to the seat as iv said before. I go to Germany a few times a yr so wil be able to see the full range across the power band soon. As before and after review. Have a week long trip in June also planned down to the Bavarian Alps and Berchtesgaden. Did the same trip last year in a new Passat Biturbo 240 bhp so will be a intresting comparison.

This might be a stupid question, but I've seen a new unused PPK ECU come up for sale and I wanted to understand if this can be installed and tuned (by BMW or an indy) without the upgraded cooler? Would you expect similar power figures without larger cooler or is it mandatory that its installed with the ECU?

Pretty sure a bmw dealer won't do that for you. Also when you order the kit from bmw they are for each cars vin. Data and coding is then unloaded from bmw germany when they install it which can take all day depending on how busy the server is. My local bmw dealer wanted to see the invoice from bmw or r they would not touch it. Main dealer won't touch a ebay job and I'm pretty sure a indy can't do it due to the data link. Happy to be corrected however if some one knows more? |

Someone was selling an new unused PPK ECU on ebay and when questioned he claimed BMW lost his original ECU during the PPK upgrade so gave him an extra PPK ECU and has no use for it... If you're saying BMW wont touch it and an Indy will not be able to do anything with it, its a pretty useless bit of kit he's trying to flog Cheers |
