The "tune" is dealer installed only, I'm not aware of anyone who's had it installed at an independent. Call Dealer and confirm they will install the MPPSK at the same cost as if you bought it from them if you provide it, I'll bet twenty bucks they find you one fast.
edit: And talk to a manager, parts countermen and SA's frequently have a different point of view than management.

I sent this link to my dealer today, it was ordered within the hour. $3055 w/carbon fiber tips, free shipping. Much better than their original quote of about $3500 for parts only. Installation will be extra. Hopefully have it installed next week.

Kind of off topic but I'm scheduled for my regular maintenance and I will do a dyno right after. I know BMW sometimes reflashes the ECU and was thinking would that affect the dyno results at all? I'm thinking it might need some time for the ECU to readjust.
So the question is should I just do the dyno session right after or should I do it next week?

^This sounds like what they'd call a "throttle body adaptation" in the VW/Audi scene. As I understand it, doing this procedure sort of resets how the car has learned and adapted to your driving patterns. That can make the power delivery feel more raw. Of course the other school of thought is that you actually gain power as the car adapts to the new programming, which this procedure would seem to undo.
Bottom line, from many years running tuned cars in that world (Audi/VW), and now with an MPPSK'd 340i, the whole "throttle body adaptation" thing seems to be mostly about dealing with the psychological impact of getting a tune. The standard pattern is euphoric excitement over the new power -> a little disappointment/worry that maybe the power fading -> conviction that the tune has been flashed over or otherwise stopped working -> trips to dealer/posts on message boards to investigate -> back to euphoria as a TBA or some other trick seems to bring back the magic -> etc. etc. etc. until at some point you realize it was mostly all in your head and you never worry about TBA etc again. That's not to say that tunes never have issues, but in my experience it's probably more a mental thing in like 90% of cases. I've said it before, the key to automotive zen is learning to appreciate what you have. Easier said than done, of course. |

I think the throttle body adaptation is more of a calibration routine to calibrate the MAF/throttle position sensor to each other, so it may be necessary after a CAI or similar install, but I never once needed to do it myself on my car. The tuning shop may have done it as part of flashing the tune the first time, but I never needed to take it back to them for that for any reason. |

Dealer in the area was running a similar deal, not quite 20%. Got the local one to match that. Walked out paying about $3500 after labor and taxes. Did the SS tips so parts ended up being around $2700. |

Nice torque number, what octane fuel were you running?

Curious how mppsk owners would compare the exhaust note to the M2 or m240? I still can't find an mppsk car at any dealer near me to hear it live. I am probably still gonna order it sight (sound) unseen anyway but trying to triangulate my expectations around other cars I have heard.

Not for the B58, totally different systems. If you do MPE and want MPPSK you have to remove MPE.
