picking up mppk, anything i should look out for?

fscuderia23 · 06-28-2015, 11:41 PM

Hey all,

I'll be getting mppk installed on my 14' 335i this week, just wondering if anyone has any insights in terms of what I should watch out for or any break in procedure? Thanks in advance!

There is no break-in period for MPPK for cars other than the standard break-in when you first buy a car...I would just recommend that you make sure that you had it installed correctly... In addition to the obvious power increase and the exhaust burble that you will get when you let of the gas, you can also get your key read where a code NPOW should show up somewhere (forget exactly where) which shows that the installation was completed successfully.

The Sport Display should show the new output numbers.

True, although only if you have Nav w/ larger screen

Ask for a copy of the program update - print out. You'll see NPOW and the updates.

You should feel the difference.

I don't think there is any formal break in for that. Always a good idea not to redline the car within the first 1-2K on the clock.

Give the car a few hundred miles to adapt to the reflashed parameters of the ECU. Immediate power increase MAY not be immediately noticeable.

I sure noticed the difference within a few days. The burbles were there from the get-go. It is a great modification - extra power from a BMW tune for not much money.

Any tune, whether the PPK or a JB4 or other should / will give you instant gains. Adaptations over a few km will just smoothen things out but the power is there instantly.

I could have sworn I didn't feel the difference between my PPK car initially and the 300 hp car I test drove. The PPK was port installed too so figure 5-10 miles were driven in Germany prior to reflash. Perhaps it's all psychological.
