To answer my own question ... My local dealer is willing to install a MPPK ordered from a third party, and they say it will have no impact on the warranty status of the car.

I have a question in to getbmwparts.com right now to find out if the PIL check can be skipped on a brand new F34, or if I have to wait for it to arrive to place the order.

Nice bimmerman, congrats you will love it. You mentioned that you ordered the MP Exhaust? Is it the BMW MP exhaust? Where did you find it? I have yet to find one that is for the F34.

My dealer has contacted M Performance Manager for Scandinavia
Pricing & Special projects BMW Northern Europe he could tell that the M Performance exhaust comes late in the month of March. + More parts. I will order the exhaust and front lip.

look at this page, I sente Meil yesterday to get a response soon. Daehler have quads exhaust for f34 335i.

Baan Velgen in Netherlands mount exhaust from Akrapovic for F34. I want that but it's a long drive there. They need the car to mount it because of modifications to the exhaust.

her is the offer.
So far the exhaust is not tested on the F34 GT, therefor it might require some very small modification as it is originally designed for the F30 and F32.

Hereby our offer:
1x Akrapovic Evolution exhaust
1x Akrapovic link pipe set
1x Akrapovic Carbon fiber tailpipes
Subtotal 2496 euro
Discount 10%
shipping and handling NO
Grand total 2326,40 euro

Please let me know your thoughts,

Count me as another one lusting after quad tips (IMO a 335i M Sport really needs them to look "right"), but I'm even more firmly in the "can't see myself cutting holes in my diffuser" camp.

Just curious if you all are really as nonchalant as you seem about doing that.

Oh ... I almost forgot why I'm here. After way too much back and forth with Tischer and my CA, I finally managed to get everyone to agree on the PIL of my yet-to-be-picked-up F34 and I've got the MPPK on order. Now it's really going to deserve quad tips!

There will NOT be an M-Performnace exhaust for the F34 GT 335i. So we are stuck to Akra (needs modification due to earlier post) or Supersprint, they do have a set with silencer and midpipe.

My dealer says $1500 + tax for the MPPK. Same at another nearby dealer. I want it but just not sure its worth the price, especially since my car is leased... Anyone who had it installed have any thoughts either way?

Interesting. I assume you had a chance to drive the car for some time without the MPPK? If so, do you think it was worth the $$$?

Yup. The MPPK sat under my desk for 1,500 long miles. The answer to the second question is unfortunately obvious (modulo a really bitchin' engine cover).

Wow that's disappointing and quite different from other accounts. Could they have screwed up the installation?

That possibility has occured to me. (The installation did take less time than I expected.)

OTOH, the "sport displays" do now go up to 400. I don't know of any other way to check.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experienced a Check Engine Light on after MPPK installation.

If I can ask the community here to provide feedback on your MPPK experience and if you have had any CEL issues it would be greatly appreciated. There is one stipulation though, please provide only if you have driven your car with the MPPK installed at speeds of 240-250km/h (155mph). I was only getting the CEL at speeds of 230km/p and higher.

So, here is my log so far:

28 Oct 2013 (Bill of Sales) – Vehicle purchased 2014 BMW (F34) 335i GT

04 Nov 2013 – Car picked up at BMW Karl + Co. GmbH & Co. KG, Mainz

14 Jan 2014 – BMW M Performance Power Kit installed at BMW Karl + Co. GmbH & Co. KG, Mainz

28 Jan 2014 – Check Engine Light (CEL) came on and I made an appointment to have it looked at. At the end of the first day that the CEL came on, it disappeared. I canceled my appointment the next day thinking maybe it was just the temperature being too cold. The break in period was observed, I did not drive the car aggressively and drove approximately 2000 km already.

6 Feb 2014 – (First Visit) CEL came back on, I made another appointment to have it looked at. The day I had my appointment to have the CEL looked at, it disappeared. When I arrived at the BMW Dealership, I told the BMW associate that the CEL was gone again. The dealership kept my car overnight to run tests on it. The next day I picked the car up, they had performed a reset and the CEL was gone. I was not told what errors were found if any.

2nd week of February – CEL came back on, appointment made with BMW.

18 Feb 2014 – (Second Visit) Returned the car to BMW for service of CEL warning. Car was again reset and the CEL was gone, I was not told what errors were detected.

22 Feb 2014 – CEL came back on, after the car was parked for approximately eight hours, the CEL was gone. I contacted BMW on Monday, 24 Feb for another visit.

13 Mar 2014 – (Third Visit) Returned my car again to BMW for the CEL warning being on again. I told the BMW associate that I have read in some forums that it might have to do with the Mass Air Flow Sensor and the Power Kit conflicting with each other. They ran tests again and they also contacted BMW Munich. I also told them that the CEL seems to only come on when I am at higher speeds between 200 – 230 km/h. I picked my car back up again, CEL again is reset and gone.

25 Mar 2014 – (Fourth Visit) Returned my car again for the CEL issue. Car was at the dealership for two days. They had asked me to bring the original Air Filter Box, they installed the original Air Filter Box back onto the car. I was told that this is what BMW Munich told them to do. I was told that if the check engine light came on again to reschedule for another appointment.

1 Apr 2014 – On my way to work, the CEL came back on. Again it came on at higher speeds, I was travelling between 200-240 km/h. I have contacted the BMW Dealership again, the associate is informing the mechanic which is suppose to contact BMW Munich. I am awaiting instructions from the BMW Dealership for another appointment.

22 April 2014 – Dropped off my car to the BMW Dealership. I was told to bring the MPPK Air Filter Box. They were given new software to install into my car by BMW Munich.

24 April 2014 – Picked up my car, new software installed and MPPK Air Filter Box was reinstalled. At a glance, first thing I saw that was different was that the Sports Display was now showing 320HP/320 ft lb Torque, back to its original state when I first bought my car. After the initial install of the MPPK, the Sports Display was displaying 400HP/400 ft lb Torque. I was told to let the BMW Dealership know if the CEL came back on.

02 May 2014 – I stopped by the BMW Dealership to provide a status update on my car. The CEL has not come back on. I did tell the BMW associate that I did feel less power. When I push on full throttle on the gas, I noticed that the Sport Display would show the torque barely reaching the 300 ft lb of torque. The original ft lb of torque is 300, with the MPPK; it is suppose to be at 332 lbs of torque.

I was also not able to go pass 245 km/h as I did before. I purchased my car with the option that removed the speed limiter (option 840), my top speed is suppose to be 250 km/h. I have reached speeds passing 245 km/h before.

I also had to add 2 quarts (approximately 2 liters) of oil yesterday. This seemed weird since I just had an oil change exactly one month and one day ago, the car was at 19,333km. So adding 2 quarts to a car that recently had an oil change in less than 6000km seemed weird. Waiting on BMW for what’s next.

Capatible control unit to get MPPK for 335iX GT

I called dealer and give them my 2014 335iX GT's VIN but they said the power kit only fit for control unit MEVD172G but mine is MEVD172S? Anybody know the difference?

I would try another dealer. I have a 2014 335GT and had the MPPK installed at the port with no problem.
