What I meant was if I have glitches in my idrive and they say they will do an 'update', will they be updating the whole car including the ECU which will result in the upgraded mppsk sounds?
Otherwise thanks for the clarification, will pay dealer for an full update if this isnt the case. |

No one can tell you for sure what their approach would be. Just ask for a sw update. If you are within warranty, they'll do it for free (and potentially even without asking).

Thanks for your advice and posts. You are one of the forum members that pushed me over the edge. I purchased my 440 back in January so I have been driving it without MPPSK for 8 months. What a noticeable difference in power and sound. It does complete the car.

MPPSK coding
I purchased an OBD adapter, Bimmercode and Bimmerlink to code my 440ix now that MPPSK is installed. I sucessfully disabled ASD and it made a very noticeable difference in reducing a harmonic droning resonance between 2000-3000 RPM's. It seems that ASD amplifies droning and now it is gone. With ASD the droning was tolerable but now coded out it is much quieter in the cockpit and no more fake noise. Only the real badass tone of MPPSK. I love it. Disabling ASD was well worth the cost of the adapter and coding apps. I also attempted to code the M Performance logo on my instrument cluster but my 440i is not listed as an option on the Bimmercode app and not compatible. So is it acceptable to code and use the M start animation on the iDrive system on a 440i with MPPSK or is that display start animation just typically reserved for M cars only? Any thoughts?

You can code the M animation on the iDrive (although you will barely ever see it), however there is no M Performance logo in the fully digital cluster (6WB), if that is what soy have, that you can code. It is just like that. Was obviously never envisaged.

Thanks Skyhigh. Actually I went back to the Bimmercode app and realized I was looking at the wrong M Performance option under the instrument cluster group. There was another option under start up which had M Performance logo and I was able to code it to my instrument cluster. I also want to thank you for your past MPPSK posts as your advice also pushed me over the edge to install.

Got my MPPSK installed 340i
Had it for about a week now, got it installed at BMW Seattle. So far I really am enjoying the sounds when in Sport and even in Comfort I am getting a slightly deeper sound. The power seems better from about 2,000-3,000 rpms so I would consider it a little boost in passing power on the highway mostly. Its so nice to be able to tone it down by putting the car in Comfort as I approach my driveway but Sport is just awesome. The cost was high but I plan to keep this car for a long time so its worth it to me.

No, that's not normal.
After several months with MPPSK, I started doubting that everything is ok, as the difference between Comfort and Sport was noticeable, but far from spectacular. I then realised that all that time (or at least most of it) I had been driving with only one valve opening! Why....? Because the connector to the valve was not locked in and the valve was effectively disconnected! Therefore - check the connector on the non-responsive valve, make sure it is firmly inserted and locked.
