Glad you got it figured out. That's always my fear....having the dealer accidentally remove my MPPK with a software update. And I don't have Nav...so I don't have gauges to show me hp and torque read outs.

Yeah man, the sports display was my first sign that my MPPK might have been removed

Good!
Think what performance you will experience once you get back the MPPK installed!
In my experience, on the same road and same weather condition, the improvement is 2" on 100/200kph
I'm very happy with my MPPK!

Thanks man, hopefully once I get my MPPK back, BMW would have figured out the CEL issue

You guys are comparing acceleration from speedometer videos.

I don't understand the meaning of your statement???? What exactly are you trying to convey?

Everybody does it and for this reason youtube is full of these videos.
Said that, it's obvious that they cannot be compared to instrumental tests, but they gives you an idea of the acceleration, expecially if there are many videos of the same car (for instance, the F30/31 335i): you can find out an average performance.
Moreover, in the case of Joyrdr, if he takes another video on the same street and in almost the same condition after re-installing the MPPK, he could certainly have an objective idea on the performance improvement like I did with my 435i MPPK

I think you mean instrumented tests.

Instrumental testing would mean there is a violin concerto in the back seat

Forgive me, it's not my language

I am quite surprised and I do like the international flavor of this forum. The Six Speed Porsche 997.2 forum is probably 99% American drivers. Very different group.

Also, I applaud your skill and use of the English language. You probably speak more English than most of my neighbors in Los Angeles, also known as Northern Mexico.

Oh my gosh, thanks a lot!

So got my car back from the dealership with the MPPK reinstalled. So far no CEL when driving between 220-250 kph

All,

Is anyone still experiencing the CEL issue with MPPK? I am also looking at the MPPK but this thread has me re-evaluating now. I also have a MY 2014 model.

It was resolved.

Thanks, was it resolved by a BMW software update? It looks like multiple people had the issue.

Also does the MPPK software update change the steering feel and effort by any chance?

Can anyone give more info on this.

How many are still facing the CEL issue with MPPK? Please speak up.
