BMW is also making the 340i MPPK a stronger proposition in the trio with the S4 and C450 again.

Here in Europe, the C450 is priced at arms length compared to the 340iX AT and without a low priced MPPK, I see many prospects converting towards the star.

exactly why i said above... they need to make it a factory option

so it would be hassle to pair up an exhaust of your own choosing if you want mppk power? Think one will have the option to bring in their own exhaust when getting the software tune?

If your dealer ends up honoring that, please let me know the dealer and SA!

Anyone hearing anything about MPPK/MPE on 340i? My dealer and BMWNA are still saying not available/no additional info.

I sense your level of anxiety is about an 8. Understandably, you want to have this done at the port as those guys know what they're doing, dealers not so much. Not to mention the benefits of lease residualization.

I'd check the front page of this forum daily. Jason will post the details immediately as he's done in the past with the N55 mppk (both versions). In the meantime, coffee and cocaine will help calm your nerves.

No dice as of yesterday when I went to the local parts guy. I'd like to get on board before the M Performance rebate offer ends at the end of the year.

Hmmmm. I may just have to opt for the GT350 at this point. It just keeps racking up awards.

Tough to beat 526 stock HP, manual tranny and a chassis tuned for the twisties.

I don't get the relevance this has to this thread.

Negative... Spoke to the local SA last week. He emailed BMW NA for me and they still don't have any info... The wait continues.

Believe it or not, I'm in the market to trade in my 335i. Since I can't get a c450, XE or S4 with a manual, I've narrowed my choices down to the 340i, M3 and GT350.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have been hounding BMW about the PPK since my 340 is at port right now, and they finally got back to me -- "the kit won't be available until mid year."

argh. screw it! I'm getting either a Camaro SS or a GT350 then... and use my savings to buy a jet ski or two!

(before you cry "camaro ss?!?!" read the last page of this month's motor trend comparing the 340i to the camaro. eye opening analysis.)

"It is, after all, not an obvious comparison test; no one will ever cross-shop these cars."

"the 455-hp, naturally aspirated, 6.2-liter, V-8-powered, six-speed-manual Camaro simply outclassed the 320-hp, turbocharged, 3.0-liter, I-6-powered, six-speed-manual BMW."

If you want a Camaro have at it. But even that guy stated the comparison wasn't really one.

clemsonkev · 12-23-2015, 10:13 PM

I'm cross shopping the 340i, Camaro ss and Shelby gt350. All manuals. All 40k to 52k.

shadowyman · 01-14-2016, 10:22 PM

As a MPE+Dinan Stage 2 owner, I fucking love my car. Shame on me I'm replacing her with an M but this car will never be forgotten.

clemsonkev · 01-14-2016, 10:34 PM

LOL, I took over another guys 435i Gran Coupe lease. Will plan on GT350 in 18mos.

Probably a good idea, let them work some kinks out on a first year.
