M Performance Power Kit for a F30 340i - Is is worth it?

[STEVEN COOL]

I have the MPPSK on my 340i, it makes a different sound but I disagree on performance. I did a lap with a 440i without the kit, there was no difference. We pulled like twin. Only sound was different. I would also say be careful, because does not have proper support for the kit. My 340i is now acting up, its like i don't have the kit, it sounds worth than a 340i with just a performance exhaust and BMW cannot fix it. (they recently updated the software and the car is no longer performing). I even regret i have the kit. The price you were given, i doubt its for the full kit..... cos my one was around R70k.

Hi Guys. I wanted some feedback on the kit from anyone who has done it? Does is make a huge difference? Are there any dyno results or tested times and speed that anyone, from experience, can confirm to back the claims. Spoke to BMW and they said power goes up from 240kw to 270kw and torque from 450nm to 500nm. Price is around R42k incl labour. Thanks :thumbs:

The time my 440i without MPPSK I did a lap with a 340i with MPPSK at Beyers Naude Dr, according to car magazine, stock 340i 0-100 5.4 sec, 440i 0-100 5 sec.

Car Magazine haven’t tested the 440i (hence the lack of a test date in the last column and the claimed 0-100km/h time of 5s). The 340i was tested by them (December 2015), which is why the time says 5.4s.

Truespeed tested the 440i only and did 5.45s, so the cars are identical in terms of performance, as one would expect.

Quick one.. is the MPPK + Exhaust available for the M140i? Toying with an idea in my head.. 272wkw factory stock hatchback.. :fencelook::cartel:

I may be mistaken but I dont think its available on the M140i. On BMW's website it on lists the 340i and 440i.

Well worth it if u worried bout m/plan ..
Ran 12.79 @ odi & 239 1km

Tton ran 12.80 ..
Beat stk M3's & C63 easy on 1/4m ..

Those M3s and C63s couldn't have been that fast with those times, or are you talking about the W204 C63 and E92 M3?

Also, were those Tarlton times done at S2S or on a prepped surface? Either way, it's a tad bit unbelievable for a 340i with just MPPK that is otherwise "stock"

Here is an indication of how quick a 340i is with the MMPK. The article states its one car length behind the M3.

No MPPK avail for M140/240i

M240i and 140i are under rated from factory. If they are neck and neck with the M2 on rollings runs and sometimes edging away then you can guess what they make stock :smilebounce:

For the 440i this kit is a no brainer if you want to keep the plan

Thanks for the feedback all!! I kinda want a smaller car.. The M140i is tempting but don't want to be the slowest stock kid of the block you know.. Then again I specced a M140i last night and it comes to almost 900k.. Bit of a derail sorry..

Same here. I was looking for a M140i but the basic spec is poor. A 3 series, like a 340i has a lot more even in base spec. IMO the 3 series, specifically MSport looks better as well.

Then you nearing M Car money... M3 or M4 a lot of bargains these days.

Apologies OP as you were

Still a bit difficult to believe if I'm honest, but a lot more believable than being ahead of not only the M3, but a C63 as well.

Lol I am available late nights to retest on Rivonia road mgwaiting:

M240i and 140i are under rated from factory. If they are neck and neck with the M2 on rollings runs and sometimes edging away then you can guess what they make stock :smilebounce:

For the 440i this kit is a no brainer if you want to keep the plan

Its important to not generalise. mgwaiting:

I raced a modded m140i with my stock M2 and was neck and neck with it. I believe up top an M2 would be ahead.

Mx40i's and Mx35i's are great cars - why must comparisons be drawn against M cars?
These are simply too different in terms of purpose and delivery to be fair.

Apologies for the derail.

I am not generalising, what I said is based on fact. Its no mystery that some modded cars don't respond to certain mods. I have sat in a M2 vs a stock m240i the results were the two cars were dead even. Fact! The cars also making near identical power on the same dyno's (kar). Point in case see link below

The cars are indeed different they are not the same. Now with the M2 comp pack BMW will close the gap between the M140i and M240i drastically.

All I am saying is that some mx40i's will outperform some m2s, and equally some M2s will outrun some mx40i's

Just as your experience is FACT, so too was mine. Therefore, suggesting only one possible outcome is making a generalisation.

Some mx40i's make substantially more power than I did at KAR.

The car I raced made around 277wkW (m140i modded) versus my 243wkW.

There's bound to be different outcomes based on road condition, fueling, driver input, etc.

Anyhow, when are you testing your M4 against the MPPK x40i? I'll even throw my hat in that ring.

I hear you bud, different conditions different days and tons of outcomes all legit of course. We all know no two races end up in the same result.

I would love to test against a 3/4 40i with MPPK, just for fun:biglol:

Yup u better believe it :smilebounce:
I say it like it is ..
Don't misunderstand I'm not saying 440i is faster
I'm saying I won on 1/4m runs ..
Driver of C63 is a regular drag guy won't post his name but if he is on here he can post - beat him 1st run then call me out for 2nd run
& both my 440i Won @ tarlton S2S ..

Very impressive -440i's holding out against 63's!

Hello there,

i have done around 5 of these kits for customers. every single customer has been more than happy. it sounds wicked and it takes the power to the same as the M2! Unlike the 335i power kit this has big gains and the exhaust is a full exhaust and not just back box. if you thinking of it let me know i might be able to save you a few rand with our parts department.

When I'm ready I will contact you.

Sorry to derail but your car/sig looks :thumbs::thumbs:

What front lip is that? Like the plates :bravo:
