PPK2 Comes with:
- Software - Water cooler - Better air vents - Stronger fan - Performance kit badge - Bolts and stuff... THATS IT! Nothing else! No intercooler I would NEVER order the PPK2! I will be installing PPK1 (so only software) and the money saved will be invested in a extra oil cooler and charge pipe |

Shucks. I always though it came with larger intercooler. I guess it's now even less worth the money for me, lol.

It won't make a difference, really. Only if you plan on pushing the car hard all the time or track it. If you have completely stock 335i and you get just the software and you're just a daily driver, you will be completely fine.

Even if you plan to push hard, get an oil cooler and/or intercooler!
If you are a daily driver without the weekly visit to the track, get the software and you're good! |

Interesting. I think the first person on e90post who got the PPK installed (Ver 2) lost his fog lights. I guess you could tell them yea or nay on the air vents that come with the kit...a la 335is look/functionality. Is that what happened with you Doz...declined the vents?

PPK1 $825 uninstalled and $1056 installed. PPK2 $1327.49 uninstalled and $2366.99 installed. That's ridiculous. Last edited by DJ831; 05-11-2012 at 10:04 PM.. |

Yea- I'll just give them a call. Maybe I can have them give me a discount because my "Service Engine Soon" light has been on for the last few weeks. They replaced the fuel valve but now I have to wait for a new hose being shipped from Germany. It drives fine but light gets annoying. Pissed because I shouldn't have to be worrying about stuff like this with only 4500 miles.

Sorry to hear, man. Hopefully they fix it. Or, since you're close to Portland, you can call Kuni BMW here in Beaverton--where I bought mine--and talk to a guy named Clay. He sold me the thing for $675 shipped to dealer. You can just have them mail the software to your address or whatever, and then you can install it where you live and not get ripped off.

Just had the PPK1 installed on Thursday. From the dealer it didn't feel that much different, but stomp on it a few times and it quickly adapts to becoming significantly quicker. The wife in particular loves the new power. Big thumbs up! Happily living without the Procede for now. Wondering if a charge pipe would be of any noticeable gain.
EDIT: I can confirm getting a white envelope.

Really? Maybe they just stuck the exhaust on and that's it? I felt the difference instantly, and a very noticeable one.

Yes, they did. They said they couldn't install a stage 2 ppk otherwise.

It's been a pleasure having a sleeper vehicle. It looks like a low rent 328, except for the dual exhaust, but it's nice and fast, has a great exhaust sound, can corner like nothing I've driven before, and the cops don't tail me.... much.

Back then, it was only stage 2, there was no software alone option and I did loose the fog lights. Dealer installed the 335is air ducts without checking with me as they came with the kit.

It keeps me wondering what BMW ist thinking...
They introduced the PPK for the N54 with software and hardware. They then introduced the PPK2 for the N55 with software and hardware. Only months later they introduced the PPK1 with just software... Is this because the N55 handles the heat better...? But why did they deliver the PPK2 with a water cooler instead of a oil cooler in the first case... |
