F30 330D PPK fitted (South Africa)

[phantom]

Order took 6 weeks to arrive. Fitted by dealer in one day. Kit consists:
ECU with software data
Upgrade 4 pod brakes
Larger intercooler
Stickers
Acceleration figures taken before and after. Advertising figures seem to be correct.
Pity the upgrade of 210kw and 600NM seems to be limited to the first five gears in the 8 speed auto.
There is an asterix in the advert which states power limited to gears.

Very nice , how much did it cost and honestly is it well worth the money spent ? Which dealership did it for you ?

Still new on forum so not sure if name of dealership may be mentioned.Price of kit was R24000.00 and dealer took extra R2600.
For me as a fanatic the saying rings true that any vehicle will get you from A-z but do you have a smile on your face at the end.Bear in mind that your VIN is updated on BMW system with full warranty intact.Bear in mind that the brakes are the M 4pod with large rotors (see photo) and will be replaced with same in future.Bear in mind that when ecu is fitted your service interval comes down so BMW will have to replace your oil more frequently.Intercooler is only one row bigger but fits in easily with no hassles.I have modified my own vehicles over the years and held various records at Tarlton with one remaining since 1991 so understand that people expect large increases in modifications.This one there is a feeling of it, bit more diesel smell but plenty of response.I always do on road tests before and after on track lengths of 800mts and have all figures related.Times taken would relate to 3 car lengths on 402mts and 6 car lengths on 800mts.

Welcome. :thumbsup:

That is nice gains and it's nice that your M/P is not affected. Can you perhaps post your comparable times? :thinking:
Just the calipers and the brake discs are worth a small fortune.

Please do a formal introduction with lots of pics of your 330d.

R24k seems like excellent value! I'm sure if you do all of that aftermarket, might even cost more. Here the quality is guaranteed! And motorplan is intact!
Enjoy :thumbs:

figures and testing attained with a good 50ppm fuel.
860mb pressure.
255/35/19 tyres at 2.6 bar.
ppk kit given 200km to adapt.

std 330d 60ft = 2.43 sec ppk 330d 60ft = 1.99 sec
200mts = 9.03 sec 200mts = 8.79 sec
400mts = 13.93 sec 400mts = 13.59 sec
speed = 159km/h speed = 163km/h

Best of 3 runs figures used.
Gearbox in sport gives the best figures.
Do not even try manual, the gearbox beats you every time.
With ppk the comfort setting on switching on now gives the
same as the standard car in SPORT. Switch to sport and you have the extra.
I will give an update on the fuel economy as soon as i have sufficient data. Compare apples with apples and drive same route. speed etc.
