Has anyone installed the "BMW performance power kit"

[kkkice]

Hi... Just like to ask if anyone here has installed a BMW performance power kit? Don't see anyone talk about it...

Is it worthwhile to do it? Any third party workshop able to installed with the software upgrade?

Thanks

The BMW Performance Power Kit is...

Worthwhile
- It is from BMW
- It is not aftermarket
- It can be homologated
- Do not void any BMW warranty
- There's no plug-n-play or wiring stuff, just a sealed package with e software upgrade inside, to be uploaded to your current ECU.

Not Worthwhile
- The gains are lower compared to the other aftermarket German made ECU.
- Unable to return to stock if u sell your ride as it was a software replacement from stock.

Cheers.

Comes with some hardware if you opt for certain options like fan and oil cooler.

Bro, BMW Performance Power Kit has 2 stages i.e. stage-1 and stage-2. The quote of 5k is stage-2 which comprises of the following;
1) ECU Software upgrade.
2) Oil Cooler Kit + higher powered Fan.

Ask them specifically for only stage-1 which is the ECU software upgrade and it is about $2k+

FYI: You can buy #1 w/o #2 but you cannot buy #2 w/o #1.

Can it be can be homologated? LMFAO!

If TS is looking for homologation, than all aftermarkets are not even an option. If no need homologation required, yes, one of many options.

I'm probably getting one fitted in the coming month, here you can only get the stage-2 version with the bigger fan+intercooler(for the air intake, not an oil cooler).

I've been researching the ppk, and a common opinion from the owners seems to be, you get quite a bit more of performance increase than the official numbers would suggest. It seems that bmw figures are very conservative, the ppk which applies to the 184hp version of the F20 gets it around 200hp, but it has been dynoed to 210+hp. Some other guy with also with a 120d and the sportronic, says that combined with the gearbox sw upgrade, it gained a second from 0 to 100kph, and about 3 from 0-140.

It's a bit pricey, but with the stage2 you get hw parts along with the re-programmed DME, and you don't loose your warrnty. Plus, you can switch your original DME back and/or have it programmed with a bit more aggressive mapping, and best of all, you get some cool stickers!!! (kidding).

Nice contribution.

Issue is, here in Singapore, mods, homologation and warranty thingy is a very tricky issue i.e. there's little room.
