3 years on
3 years ago I brought my first brand new car, a real milestone for me, my 320d and I loved it,
3 years later, and I've upgraded to the 440 with a few mods. I'd wanted to mod my 320 but for various reasons never managed to, this time round I'm in a far better place and have been able to go all out.

If DMS ever crack the ecu I'll have it remapped, I've also been considering the JB4 as a temporary mod, also been considering a front splitter in black to match the rest, other than that I think I'm done mate,

Plus why would you put a tune on top of a tune, it doesn't make sense. |

I dont think the MPPSK is a completely new ECU though, just a tweak to the map. So if the bluespark just tweaks the map again, then surely you would expect the same output as one without MPPSK? Im just speculating though as this is all outside of my range of expertise lol. |

If you want more power on an MPPSK'd car the proper way to do it would be put the original ECU back in and get that remapped/fit a tuning box. |

and now thanks to this I'm looking at Bluespark boxes VS jb boxes.
£500 for a JB+ made me think for an extra grand I could have a bmw tune and exhaust setup. When these bluespark boxes are £170 its even cheaper and the gap to mppsk becomes greater. Hmmm.. |

MPPSK is an ECU map that takes the B58 motor to production spec of the m40i models (like the new x3). A box could sit on top of a mppsk car (or m40i I assume) to fool the ECU further. Think the issue with the b58 is the fuelling limits. |

So if a standard 340i is capable of an extra 20% power with tuning box then an MMPSK 340i which is already increased by about 10% can't then have another 20% on top The X3 M40i might have improvements to the engine to allow it an extra 20% power Last edited by teaston; 03-16-2018 at 02:33 PM.. |

Tbh I'd be happy with the MPPSK soundtrack and the claimed power from the tuning box
