Howsit guys,

So the ppk was finally delivered and installed and it is great. You can immediately feel the different in responsiveness on the throttle and a definitive eagerness through the gears, i especially feel the difference once third is engaged as it pulls so much better than normal.

Only drove the car a short while so Didnt get to experience it fully and leaving on Friday overseas so, will only enjoy it when I get back,

In summary tho, was it worth it, IMO yes, was getting ppk 1 vs ppk2 worth it, yes, the hardware is not worth the extra unless you track day your car. As a mp friendly "tune", I would recommend it, for a decent extra bit of power and not a dragster, it's perfect.

It's exactly the kind of extra power I needed and I am very happy with it.

I also quite like the power kit plaque in the engine bay. There is also now as sticker on the air box saying power kit installed, need to change spark plugs every 45k or something like that. The other thing is that they didn't even charge R500 to install.. Awesome.
Thanks for reading

Have you noticed a change in fuel efficiency?

Not really, next year will be able to get a better estimate. BMW says that it wudnt change, but the inherent nature of getting more power you will more likely put foot me.

Congrats!

I'm also thinking about this. Do you have N55 or N54?
Auto or Manual?

N54, auto

Cost?
Dealership?

Enjoy the new found power!!!!

Looked for a while for a dealership that actually new and has done ppk1 before, so ended up at Clearwater BMW.

Cost approx 15k for everything, compared to 30k for the same power, I think that's awesome. Check out the reviews in the states, it's awesome.

Thanks man,

Yes please, can we do that in the new year. Just to see if the gap closes.. Lol.

I ran another stock that day and from about 80 I pulled like 2 maybe 3 cars, I was also stock. Really weird that, the videos are weird as well. The guy in the car was also shocked coz we both were stock, both had 1 passenger. Anyway, I really would like to see the difference.

Heres to closing the gap :thumbs:
Just don't pass me :fencelook:

Ha ha.. Doubt that. I am going to see at tarlton this week Friday what's the timing difference if any, don't think much but will see.

I am really keen to see against a complete stock one and then one like yours.
