Hi I've had my 335i 2012 for about 4 months and I just found out how to make it "pop or burble" on 2nd gear and a quick push on the throttle to 1700-1900 rpms all it takes. Car is completely stock engine wise. No down pipes but m performance package exhaust with resonator delete. This is what I'm aware of so far.
The pops are not loud and very quiet actually, to be honest sounds good as **** since I don't like the pops from tunes.
I'm just Curious my car might be tuned. I was told it was never tuned from bmw.


Thanks

It might have PPK tune with the exhaust. If you have a way to log, then we would be able to tell.

Do you mind explaining more, what is exactly the pkk tune? How is it different then other tunes ( MHD, cob, jb4)

BMW put out the PPK (Performance Power Kit) tune. Which the other tunes are not put out BMW. The PPK is usually the lowest output of the tunes mentioned.

So I should be happy😂😙 ? I always wanted extra power but didn't want to ruin the reliability of the car. Would upgrading to cold air intake and a charge pipe help with more power ?

[TunafishE93]

No neither one of those will give you more power. The car has a cold intake on it already. I haven't seen a aftermarket intake that hasn't been shown to decrease performance.

As far as charge pipe this is more of a maintenance item due to the possibility of cracks. There has been people who ran stock charge pipe without issue though. I changed to put in some meth.

Reliability is a subject that doesn't go well with power. But if you say tune car and never drive car hard it could be more reliable than a stock tune that is driven hard all the time.

If you do get the tune I would first get plugs (ngk 97506). Then intercooler/charge pipe, neither one will give you more power but intercooler will allow to keep the power you have for longer after things get hot. The car is programmed to take away power once things get hot.

Next will be tunes. Best route here is MHD with custom tune or self tune. The maps that come with MHD have overboosting issues due to throttle closures and I wouldn't recommend them. This where you will start getting into power.

Yes stock n55's will have that little crackle which IMO sounds great. I hate pops and bangs tunes too.

I had the PE mod with secondary cat delete on my old n55 and stock when warmed up had some burble to it. You can exaggerate that with an mhd tune

The BMW PPK tune will give you more power an it will burble and it will be amplified if you have an aftermarket catback exhaust. I had it for years on my 2011 E90 until MHD was released. MHD also uses the same BMW tables for burble.

[Dullah655]

Thanks for the information guys now I'm more familiar with everything .

Merry Christmas to all ❤️. Happy holidays. Stay safe.

N54 here so cant speak if its the same on a N55 but when my car was stock i could tap on the gas just enough to add a little fuel into the engine and it would make little burbles
