yeah, totally hear ya...I would imagine since the F30 is lighter than the E90, and given that this version has an intake, we should be pretty comparable to an E90 M3 (stock).

I can't wait for autox and track days at Lime Rock so I can really test it at the limits...

lol I'm sure he didn't mean M3...

ppk only? No way.

JB4 Stage 2 + DP would give it a run in the quarter mile but probably need meth/E85 to best a M3.

Don't need much to beat an M3 in the quarter. It's not made for drag racing and its tricky to get good times out of it. An M3 is built for corners and that's what makes it great.

I don't think he meant it seriously... Fwiw in my op I clearly said its not like it's an m3 all of a sudden.... Just making sure this doesn't turn into a 335ppk vs m3 Internet drag race thread

Seems like a dash plaque would have been a better idea than stickers. "Those stickers, they are for a younger person, wouldn't you say?"

A dash plaque would be pretty sweet except for those of us who have the alcantara carbon fiber interior with the M sport stitched in already. That might get a little redundant...

Alcantara carbon fiber interior? Where was THAT option when I was "building" my car online?

Yeah, stuff like that and the performance parts aren't listed on the builder. From what I've read on here though you can order it with the car separately. My dealer didn't ask me about this stuff when I ordered, but I also didn't ask them about it either.

lol... so, update, after getting another 100 or so miles on Easter commuting.

There's a noticeable kick in power at 2500 rpm up to around 4500-5K.

Now with a mixture of more city and highway/parkway type roads and curves today, i notice a new kick of more power around 2500 rpm.

Revving car to around 2000 and letting out clutch quickly (not a full dump) the car will give you a new much stronger jolt and roar. Maybe the weather was better or does the ECU adapt? I know my old Rx8's ecu sort of adapted and took a few days to gather itself after you pulled the battery or got a new flash. Whatever it is, the car def feels more alive now. My butt dyno is no scientific tool, but i have nothing to gain by making this up i guess, and i swear its a bit more responsive now.

Intake/exhaust sounds are pretty hard to discern most of time though. I'm not sure what BMW is saying when they say "emotionally enticing burble". Maybe they are talking bout if its mated with the exhaust.

My original ride was all highway so my tests were basic pulls when traffic allowed. After another 2 days with mix city situations and more highway I'm quite impressed.

Can't wait to hear more from the AT crowd.

I'm quite liking the idea of this PPK. Might just go for it along with a set of 405M wheels, then I've done all the M Performance mods I really want!

Will send that to my dealer ...I mentioned this and they did say the updates are vin specified so manual cars stay at 320/320 due to less torque but it seems easier for BMW just to make it like this.
