For all you people using your f30 as daily drivers, would you still recommend this? I mean, I talked myself out of the 328i because I wanted more power (and didn't like how the N20 sounded). I know I don't "need" it, but some reason I want it. And I know I won't be tracking my car... ... So for those who aren't tracking, why are you getting the M PPK installed? |

No, I still have the PPK...I just don't notice it anymore because I'm used to it. I really noticed it and appreciated it the first few weeks because I could compare with my pre-PPK experience...but you just eventually get accustomed to it and it seems normal...so I was just wondering if it might be unimpressive if you have the PPK port-installed because you will have it from the beginning and won't be experiencing the difference or "upgrade." You can't go wrong, it does improve the performance a bit and definitely sounds better.

I may definitely have to get this. By dealer is gonna give it to me for $1000 installed at the port, if it becomes available by then (which I hope it does). I should stop looking at the forums, because each time I do, I tend to want to add more to my build.

If anyone reads European Car, they had a dyno of the PPK and it showed a drop in peak torque and a slight increase in HP. They questioned the results as well.
This is the same car that was pitted against the modified ATS in one of the other magazines (motor trend?). It makes sense now as that test showed the PPK car running stock like numbers in the 1/4 mile. No idea how to get the image at a higher resolution |

That particular car had something up....those PPK numbers are especially weak (and slow). To counter the argument....what about the PPK 335i that ran the quarter in 13.0 @ 105.4? I think the PPK DOES add substantisl extra power and torque, and that European Car comparo had a flawed vehicle (or flawed PPK install).
My own PPK equipped car dyno'd (on a Dynojet) at 304 WHP and 308 lb-ft torque on a new engine with only 3000 miles. Divide those values by 0.85 and you can see what kind of crank #s those are... |
