[QUOTE=Dinh335;13907653]Have you guys ever seen the HP figure spike to a full 320? I've never gotten close. That's not to say I'm not feeling power but curious.
My torque still peaks easier, but never to a full "317" per se (remember I'm MT). It levels out completely at 300. have 2 ticks left (each tick is "8") I've even floored it and it levels out at 300 well before floor-age. how easily are you guys peaking your displays, and its it in both HP and TQ? I actually emailed my SA and am going for a ride with the shop foreman tmrw. I know the displays aren't dyno, and a lot people say "well they aren't for real" which to me isn't a good enough answer as to why they won't at least peak. That's pretty much saying BMW made displays for fun and had no intention of them working.[/QUOTE] I think you nailed it right on the head, the sport meters are a complete gimmick for fun and I wouldn't waste your time taking it in....I'd be shocked if they actually have anything they can "fix" or " adjust" after a tech rides along with you. |

I bought a second hand 2011 e90 from a BMW dealer, and as part of the deal required BMW to do the PPK upgrade. And yes they claimed RRP was around $5k, which I assume will be the same for F30's. Crazy.

Well, others are peaking easily. I don't expect a fix, but from my perspective there's no reason it should be "flattening" out at 300. And by coincidence that's the stock number so I'm naturally wanting an answer.

I have pretty much been promised that my car will be completed tommorow. Not getting my hopes up, again.. totally disappointed. They also politely asked for the loaner back today. That was DENIED. Lol

That does seem a bit strange. I know you didn't feel as much of an increase as us 8at guys have but you did notice it was stronger for sure right? Mine easily gets to 310/320 HP and 325/350 tq. HP up there when I'm winding it out and usually about 330 tq with just a 3 second stab at the throttle. At times 350 when I'm really using all torque. BTW When oil temp is high (around 250/255) the reading wont go as high though. So it does measure something.

Problem for me is if the displays are a "gimmick" how the hell does it land PERFECTLY at 300 torque then. It literally flattens out there...i can push pedal way deeper and I get nothing but 300. HP, not even close. Car is moving for sure though while this is happening.

me too..basically nothing has changed in terms of the displays. which is annoying! like i said, it's no dyno. but the gimmicky no dyno display is sure good at reporting stock figures. also, why have the AT displays change then if it's all for fun and games.

In all truth, those are some pretty strong statements. I too went from an accord v6 to a 335i and the jump was massive. I normally drive in comfort mode, so I can't wait to see how much better it is. The only thing I wished was that the steering was like how it was in sport mode (and a little more throttle response, but not as much as sport as I like to keep it at the low RPMs to save gas). |

They had an IRAP session planned for 6am here on the west coast, but no one was here! So now they gotta set up another IRAP session today. Believe it or not, they did an IRAP session last friday which bricked the car. We'll see where they are today with it at noon PST. Lemme know how yours goes and how long it took.

sport displays
So, met with my SA and shop foreman re: sport displays.
We went on a spirited drive and he found it funny the torque was leveling out and felt it may be a calibration issue and is contacting BMW. the HP peaked at 320, but torque never. I'll report back to see what he says/BMW says.
