* Can you give details about the additional power bump M-performance option? How is it done, i.e., is it just reprogramming the ECU? How much did you pay for the option -- I've been looking for a pricing sheet for the M-performance options and haven't been able to find anywhere.

* How do you like the 19" vs. the 18" wheels? I tend to go smaller with my wheel orders because I like to minimize weight to increase performance. However, I"ve heard that there are some rough-running issues with the 18 that are settled by increasing size to 19. Is this true?


Thank you again.

My car arrived without the PPK kit, our dealer did not have the option installed at the port as it would have delayed the delivery of the vehicle (and they knew how excited I was!). The exhaust has arrived from Germany and am supposed to have it installed along with the ECU programming some time this week. I believe in Canada it is $2,500.

The 19" wheels feel fine. If it feels a little ruff, then you can switch to "comfort mode" if you order the dynamic suspension package. I personally like the look better with the 19" rims, but everyone has there own preference.

Thanks for the info -- I'm thinking of doing the performance upgrade too when I order -- $2-$3k doesn't seem like too bad a price for the bump you can get.

Exhaust with PPK is now installed on the 435xi. Will post a photo.

Exhaust with PPK is installed. Sounds good on low rev's ("burble") but seems quiet under acceleration...
