Hahaha, its funny you mentioned that because right after I brought the car back to work, I took my coworker for a spin and he wanted to vomit too from how hard it pulled. Said it felt like a roller coaster. I guess I'm used to it, lol.

I was out of town for couple weeks, when I got back yesterday the dealer said NO, they haven't got the mppk install. The Mppk package does come with a new DME & the dumb dealer couldn't make it work. If it's not too much trouble Could u list in details, the steps on what I need to do & explain to the noob BMW dealer so they will understand & know what to do to make the MPPK to work in my car. Car been sitting in the dealer for couple weeks now & I really need to get these mppk sorted out Last edited by F555; 09-06-2013 at 09:48 AM.. |

Dealers have installed the HARDware, BMW AG has had to run remote IRAP sessions to help with the software - it takes something like 6 hours apparently.

Has anyone with the M-PPK kit installed noticed their Start/Stop no longer functioning? I've had mine for a few weeks and it hasn't shut off at all at stoplights! I understand it won't if in manual mode, A/C on past a certain level, if it's too cold or hot, etc.

r u sure u r not on "sport shifting" mode( e.g. pull the lever to the left but not in manual.S1,S2, ....)? if so, the ASS is equivalent to off. I had it installed but now just have about 100+ miles on it since then. so far everything works fine.

I've got the M-PPK and a catted downpipe (which is currently throwing a CEL). I did the downpipe install about 3 days after the M-PPK upgrade; and the start/stop has not kicked at all. During the 3 days before the downpipe; I was probably in Sport mode most of the time - hard to say. But I can be in 100% auto; comfort, A/C off, 60-80 degrees outside; stoplight at completely full stop, etc. No start/stop. I've got a BMW appt on Monday to look over the car after I ask the dealer the same question. Same dealer that completed by M-PPK upgrade in 1 day and I've got the old 2012 DME build; so good confidence.

I have experienced the similar thing the other day. I was in sport mode and giving a couple of smashes on the throttle on the highway then when I came to a light, ASS didnt work. I continued normal driving style on semi-highway and for couple stops ASS still didnt work. A day after, I used my car again and ASS started functioning normally. So my guess will be that once the computer detects the performance driving style it will signal to disable ASS to maintain its "mode" to not to give the engine too many fluctuations to protect it(hypothetically speaking, from high performance to shut down might not be good for any engines). that was just my guess and I am no expert. But since your case the ASS wont come back which is definitely an issue. Sounds like ur dealer really know what they r doing so i think you r in good hands. happy driving lol.

Fwiw; it's 57 degrees this morning and I drove in via Comfort mode only. Never gunned it, never manually shifted; drove like a grandma basically because of traffic. Probably 4+ stoplights over 10 miles and it never shut off. Before the M-PPK it would have each time. I'll report back later today probably...

For those with the USA installations, did you get the "ARB EO" (Air Resources Board Executive Order) sticker for Aftermarket, Performance, and Add-on Parts Regulations to place under your hood? My dealer told me that it did not come with my kit. Not a big deal, but a little concerned if this might be a potential issue if and when I ever decide to sell my car due to the stringent emissions laws here.

Finally after months and months, I got the call that the new MPPK / DME was in for warranty install! I have now had the car back for a week and it is a beast compared to stock IMHO (and don't even get me started on the base F30 328i loaner I had for install). They had fixed the fan/limp mode last April (when I got the MPPK installed originally).
Everything seems to be fine now and I am going to enjoy the car fully.

Just an FYI, the PPK made the track experience purely psychotically WONDERFUL...I was able to hit 120mph on the Sam Posey straight at Lime Rock. For reference, I think most IMSA cup cars and ALMS cars hit 185+ on that straight...
I was taking over all sorts of cars, modified M3's, VW's, etc. So, as expected, BMW does not give us the true figures of this mod.
