I got both M performance packs and the second one is the full cat back line and the software flash.

MPPSK is the full cat back line, including the resonator delete while the MPE is the axle back only.

It took me three aftermarket exhausts on my E90 before I landed on the one I really loved, which was the MPE; wasnt going to make that mistake twice. Plus, when you have it port installed, you save about 800 to a grand in installation and programmation fees.

The MPPSK is that "little something" that pushed me over the edge into buying the 340.

MPPSK gives you that burble. I'm considering doing the MPPK vs the MPE if I had to choose one.

Alright, here's some pictures of my car after the ceramic coating's 3 days cure period. For $35 CDN a coating that last 2 years, I am SOLD!

Your paint needs to be perfect in all aspects tho; if not I wouldnt recommend. Be sure to follow the instructions and to prep the car carefully (pun intended), you should be fine. Just take your time.

my paint is long past perfect. Haha I see what I can do.

[MaximusJ]

My old E90 was far from being perfect as well when I got it. But with some work, I managed to bring it back to its bling state.



Same process every spring and fall, clay bar, polish (The first two sessions, I went pretty hard to get rid of all those hairlines), sealant, glaze or wax. And then I rewaxed after a month or two depending how it faded out.

where did you get the coating done?

At home. I'm a DIY guy. On my E90, I did everything but paint and welding.

Plus, the kit is 59.99CDN and you can coat two cars with it (or yours twice). And the dealer wanted 800$ +tx for a coating, leather protection and a clear bra.

I ended up having the bra done for $400 (Same place the dealer has their cars done), leather stuff was $15 a bottle and the coating was 35. I think I did well.

I mean perfect. No chip, no swirls, no hairlines (those could be tolerable, just make sure to polish the sh*t out of them prior), perfect.

Anything that goes between your paint and the quartz will be there forever. "Quarter will require sanding to remove completely" type of thing.

What brand of coating did you use? can I get it at Canadian tire

I dont regret it, the 8AT is really nice, smooth and agressive when you want it. Some bug on quick down shift but meh, it's not a DCT. Planning on having kid, well trying to have one this winter haha so convertible will probable go away next summer.

I'm really planning on getting back a manual transmission! The feeling of driving is not the same.

Maybe if God can be good with me, i'll get a used M3 F80 2014-2015 with 6MT!

For performance parts, you should first just get a jb4. This will definitely make the car a whole new car.

Check at EXO performance in repentigny. The guy is amazing!! he made everything on my car, JB4, DP, CP, Intercooler, Coilspring. great price and great service! his name is Sebastien.

Thanks for the kind words bmw5858

Same here! Just got myself a 340i 2018 with manuel transmission! i sold the Full bolt on 435i convertible to get this. I was going at bmw laval with my fully modded 435. They said it was fine but in case of problem, call them before coming to the dealer with all the parts. Advisor told me that she's going to tell me which parts to take off.

i'm from Candiac, south shore of Montreal! Shoot me a PM! We could meet sometime!

Je parle aussi français! :P

Thanks for this, I've been looking for a local (CDN) coating. Any idea if it's made locally or a rebrand of a China coating? Do you have any experience with other more popular coatings like CQuartz or Gtechniq Exo to compare this against?

Let us know how the mods feel with the MPPSK!

Sure; i'd love to go to a bimmer/euro meet sometime. There are a few in Montreal but not too many in Quebec. But I go to Montreal on a regular basis; next week for instance.

I would think its made here since they manufacture their own line of products already. Their labs are impressive. They are local to me and very nice guys. And they told this required a good amount of R&D so that's what makes me think they make it instead of relabelling an existing product.

I didnt coat any cars before this one; but I will do it to every other ones I have; garanteed. So I cant speak for the other brands.

[MaximusJ]

Left or right? I had blacklines on my E90 and absolutely love them. But these looks a little much and i'm afraid that it might fade with time. But they do look nice on MG.





I'm torn. $375 usd shipped for the blacklines sounds like a good deal. + I may not lose a lot if I decide to resell them.

[Calvin36]

Those are the euro version LCI?

[MaximusJ]

Yes. I found some OEM's this morning for 575 and already found the replicas at 375. But i'm looking at the pictures and they look identical. Probably not in person tho.
