No I've got the Sport Automatic Transmission. I haven't checked out the supposedly revised display yet but I will now!

So, some more info after driving a bit more. (I've logged about 60 miles, but had to get back to work and pick up kid, so no more crazy driving ) I was just thinking, a good way of describing it is if you have driven the 328, and driven the 335, there is a noticeable diff in power. (i love the 328 this is not a 328 bash comment at all and please lets not go there). if you're expecting the M perf p kit to feel like the difference btwn 328 and 335, it's about half of that, or a pinch more than half. Comfort mode though feels like the old sport mode and is much better. Throttle response def more natural, and sport mode at mid/higher speeds really wakens up. The throttle in sport is really sensitive. The passing ability is really improved. You hit 90 when you thought it was around 75 passing a car. I noted that it reminds me of the s4 now, which is a car that's just a pinch more powerful, and AWD than the 335. in terms of midrange pull, and that's probably the best I can describe it for now. again, this is my DD, i have a kid, a wife who rides with me a lot, I wanted more power, but to retain the sort of original balance and engineering of the car, and this nails that. So I'm happy. You always yearn for more power, but to me it comes with other drawbacks sometimes, and this is a good balance. it falls under the "it should have come like this from the factory" category. as opposed to "this is my custom tuned animal". Make sure you keep the labor down though. They try to def add hours of labor to it and it'll quickly get over priced. Keep in mind i have the 6mt, so i get a bit less torque, but i can feel it. Interested to see how the 8AT guys review it.

ill try tomorrow if i get a chance. hard to do it solo so gotta set up tripod and all that fun stuff.
i got a few gopros so i'll try that too i guess. i can hear a little more "whoosh" spooling and it sounds great, but not loudly obvious.

I'm assuming you had the car in "Comfort" mode when you made the exhaust burble video? I sure hope so, because that's a lot less "burble" than I'm accustomed to hearing in "Sport" and "Sport+" on mine without the PPK. (Now and before I added the M Perf exhaust). |

Thanks for the great write up. I'm looking forward to mine coming with the kit as I tacked it onto my car and take delivery next month. I also ordered the m perf exhaust and can't wait to hear it with that and in sport mode.

Did any of you get the M Performance logo on your nav screen and or HUD with the flash? The red hole on the new intake tray looks like it's there to allow for more induction noise...noise=perceived power.

Didn't have Ass coded (I have MT so don't mind it as much as I cam control it a bit more by just staying in gear ) but I do have DVD in motion and had to redo that,

No perf logo for me...on fact HUD and nav are identical including sport displays and shop foreman is contacting BMW about what the "sport displays altered to reflect power changes" means in the description.

Just went for a quick run but had my wife and kid in the car, so nothing aggressive. More in town driving than yesterdays all highway.
Few notes: Comfort mode def improved. I think me saying ilke its the old sport mode is pretty accurate. All my settings got sort of reset, though my radio presets stayed. But vehicle settings like blinkers, ambient lighting, door locks, etc got reset to as they were at delivery. sport throttle is def more sensitive. couple jerky starts (I'm MT) adjusting. I can hear the burble a bit more but its not that loud over stock imho. to untrained ear it'll go unnoticed. Keep in mind I'm not flooring the car nor going too aggressively though. I'll do more tests alone later this weekend hopefully. Not that I go around street racing, but i'd describe the power as definitely confidence inspiring. It's more readily on tap. It was there before, but that extra 10% that shows up mainly in "aggressive" driving gives you that extra confidence. Until i set up a camera on my hood and outside the car, I can't comment on the new air box sound. It's there, I can hear more turbo whoosh, but only at near full throttle revs, which, I didn't do much of before i got the car so don't have a baseline per se. But, the fact that I haven't noticed anything that jumps to me should give you an indicate that the sound isn't too altered. The exhaust sounds sweet though IMO. Its a pinch more noticeable and a very high end burble sound.

I had my car coded for the M performance graphics in the NAV and HUD...my only guess for them even being available in the system at all was for activation for those who later got the PPK, so that is strange that that is not turned on. hmmm

For 8AT drivers as well, I'm assuming the tune will alter the shift maps, etc. So that will impact the impression too... I'm still awaiting confirmation of shipment since it's a 1/2012 build. Thanks for all the helpful feedback, I think it was Rounde335 that mentioned that one of his friends had a E90 PPK and a E92 M3 after, and missed his E90 PPK, so that's kind of where I was making decisions from...(that this tune should be comparable to driving an E92 M3 in terms of speed).

Those stickers are a lot smaller than I had imagined...I might actually have the dealer put them on and debadge the 335i.
I mean, I'm all about sleeper (that's why I like the base model), but those stickers aren't too bad...will you guys all mock me to my face if I do?
