I don't think there's anything special about this "new" PPK that will be better than what we already have. They are apparently making some sort of engine change that will require a different DME and/or software than the most current models. I doubt it will be retro-fittable.

If I had to be worried it would be the lack of launch control that the 2014s are getting

Doesn't mean that they won't have a lot of inventory - I know plenty of people who got big discounts on year end models. at least in the US.

Eh, I think I'm going to end up snagging a '12 with low miles on the cheap. Nothing like letting someone else pay for the first year's depreciation on a luxury car!

I would not get too excited, they said they where making a change to the engine, not the PPK. Given the quick turn-around I think it is safe to say that the engine change is also something minor.

If you find exactly what you want at the end of the year then you win, but it is a roll of the dice.

Don't get ahead of yourself, it is not a "New Engine". They are making some sort of change to the N55 that will require them to test or revise the PPK software. This may be a small engineering change or a larger one but it is still the same engine. Too early to even really speculate.

I do hope this is a software fix for the Limp Mode that I and others are experiencing.
Secondly, just want it on record that I like ASS. For a guy with a manual gbox, it works flawlessly every time. Funny part is it feels like you're kick starting the engine

My MPPK is new and my car was replaced so it is still being worked in. Even in its current state I can feel the difference with the PPK. I can only imagin how it will feel when the car adapts and is broken in. Even today it feels better than yesterday.

I emailed my CA today to ask about this. Did you hear anything from your CA? I am hoping I still pay Port Install price and get it installed post delivery. Anyone else have one on order with MPPK? |

After reading these posts, I am really glad I went with JB4 rather than BMW's tune. BMW always seems more expensive, more conservative and with more issues. Lol
But does this issue mean that cars made before July and last year are going to have another software upgrade? If so, I'll have to take the jb4 off and on again.. Also I hate the ASS feature. I never use it, and hate the idea or losing the power to the steering wheel while I'm making a left hand turn in the middle of a intersection. I am going to go get it coded out eventually soon |

Also do you know the port install price on Performance Tuning Package? (Exhaust + PPK)? Can't find these prices |
