And she even told me that with this sound, and the painted calipers, she wouldn't drive the car, will stick to her Mini...

It's a confusing picture looking at the parts numbers online; e.g in North America if you have a Canadian vehicle with manual transmission you can only get '339'.... yet for sports auto transmission it's the '340', whereas in the EU it's only listed as '339'..... |

But I can assure you that 340 sounds absolutely better: there are several videos on youtube where you can check it! The US version sounds like the MPE of my old E91 335xi: simply amazing!! My car under WOT sounds like a coffe pot About the inside sound, your hi-fi is amplified or H&K version? Because in this case, maybe (I'm not sure, but maybe), the MPPK activated the ASD (Acrive Sound Design), the same system active from stock in M135i/M235i Otherwise you can refer to the intake sound, wich is stronger: with MPPK (new MPPK with 335hp/340ps) they change the airbox with a new one with an additional hole (more air intake noise!). |

@DR_G that's what I mean with 340 version:
And even better: That's what I looked for and those were my expectations!

No, but I can take it next days and post it
It's an hole with a red border in the front part of the airbox (wich has the same shape than the stock one). As a matter of fact, the N55 with MPPK has a stronger air intake sound ("hasssssh") under WOT

That opening is pointing forward behind the headlamp housing.

It's possible and other ppl have done it in another thread. The difference was minimal and can barely be heard in the cabin. The part cost about $190 from oem outlets.
Others have simply drilled holes to achieve the same thing. Airflow is not as efficient without the airhorn design but probably doesn't make much difference. |

Finally got chance to get an exterior shot under load, sounds better than stock, but not like some 340 video's I've seen.
Edit: Damn cow's.... thought I'd trimmed them out of the clip! Anyhow, here's another one, should probably be called 'BMW stalks bike through the long grass'... Last edited by DR_G; 08-09-2014 at 05:11 AM.. |

Excuse me, but do you really consider it a good sound? Do you think it worth its price?
Exactly (and obviously) the same sound than mine: something similar to a coffee pot... It will improve a little, but it will remain absolutely worse than US version (#340) and only a little better than stock. BMW has made fun of us...

Edit: Having put more miles on the back, I'm now thinking that the difference in sound is purely down to the powerkit, and having seen some more 340 videos recently I'm.... irritated.
Last video from me, but I think the different camera angle (sorry it's in the grass, but I didn't want someone to find it and walk off with it while I was somewhere up the road!) captures the sound better: I'm comparing to this video.... Last edited by DR_G; 08-09-2014 at 05:13 AM.. |

Quite strange. I did 4"9 on 0-62 with a not perfect start (too much wheel spin)... Try with Launch-Control
