Windows down definitely allows you to hear exhaust more (perhaps too much sound-deadening in the g30). Ive done some casual quiet backroad launch control starts and rolling accelerations....timed 0-60mph at 4.2 sec average, best was 4.1, but most were 4.2 and 4.3. Passing power is better than stock...easy to blow well past the speedlimit (such as passing car doing 50mph in a 55mph zone, drop to 3rd gear and floor it...easy to get to 85 or 90mph in a few seconds). I would highly recommend the MPPSK...if you want old BMW passion in addition to mini-7-series lux/comfort, you can't go wrong. 540i is a great car....540i with MPPSK is a great BMW.
