How can you find out who does PPK?

I spoke to a local dealer, Dick Lovett BMW Bristol, and they said they cant do it but BMW website might say which dealers do it....... it doesn't say anything!

I emailed another dealer local to me, Cotswold BMW Gloucester, but they haven't replied yet.... which is pretty crap in itself IMO after 3 days, even if the answer is no!

If it helps, I had mine done by Berry Heathrow.

Just down the M4 but depends how far you're willing to travel.

Could you drive to Hook next to Basingstoke? They did mine, £1350, and to answer another question I already had the M Sport brakes and blue calipers.

I don't mind driving it to a dealer further afield, just means a bit of hassle cos of the time it takes for conversion / courtesy car ect

I certainly won't rule it out though

Ok good luck with finding a local dealer.

Also I need to add, BMW Hook did a good job with the car, it came back clean and everything went well so a recommendation from me.

MarkG_M5Comp · 02-17-2015, 04:35 PM

Ridgeway Hook (formerly Wood) did my springs. A mate used to work there and they had a great name; not so great for employees since the change in ownership but not heard complaints about service.

NISFAN · 02-17-2015, 04:37 PM

Can't believe your dealer won't install it. Change of intercooler, change of ECU, then re-programming. Hardly a clutch change.

gr4z · 02-18-2015, 04:42 AM

Great review thanks!i I am more and more tempted with this to make a great car even better.

If we can get together for a team buy I'm in. Just don't tell the Mrs.

I was surprised too; glad im not the only one that thought it wasn't much to ask

Spoonhead · 02-18-2015, 08:43 AM

Welcome to the PPK club. I had mine from about 400 miles and now only done 6500 in 10 months. Job change has meant hardly any car miles, and then I retire in 6 weeks, but probably keeping the car.

I find in just effortless. Little need to plant the right foot to overtake quickly. But I really notice the acceleration when sitting as a passenger. My son picked me up from the airport recently, and joining the motorway at speed was quick but felt safe. A few times I had to sneek a peek at the speedo, and surprised my son was not breaking any laws

I got mine for a bit less, but was a special deal locally. You have to negotiate.

Buttons · 02-19-2015, 05:50 AM

Confused!!
I emailed BMW UK to see what dealers in my area do it and they replied that it isn't available on the 330d - only the 335i

Bet you they just read the website information on power upgrades.

The UK BMW sites list it's only for 320's and 335i AND 335i xdrive!

probably best ringing a dealer where someone on forum had it fitted.

Gixerste · 02-27-2015, 02:26 AM

Well Jumperjohn and Nisfan thanks to your rather good write ups my wallet is somewhat lighter as I have just ordered the MPPK for my 330d

... now I just have to wait for it to arrive as there's none available right now, even from Germany

.... still looking forward to having it fitted. ACS springs needed now I think

The M PPK is listed for the 330d in the BMW M Performance Accessories catalouge as well as for the 320d and the 335i

Sorry!!!!

By the way, the PPK is made at the PPK factory, especially for your car. That's why they don't have em in stock.

Consett Mag · 03-02-2015, 04:17 AM

I wonder why BMW don't offer it or even make it a standard fitment to a new car.
Better performance. Better fuel economy. Even better reviews.

Am I missing something?
