Will there be an M Performance power kit?
...somewhere in the near future for the M3/4 ? Almost all engines have this option now, so I wonder if there is a chance the will also introduce it in the M range...anyone heard/read anything about it?

Even diesels can get a PPK these days, I ordered the drivers package which shifts the limitor to 280km/h (I believe, might be 275 too) so I was wondering if a mild tune would be offered by BMW in the future... |

As other posters have stated, I'd be more willing to bet on a competition package on future versions of the car than a post-production OEM tune for this year's versions.

I don't expect BMW to release a M Perf. upgrade for these type of cars. These are mostly available for the 'lower' level cars ie. non-M. (120d, M135i,..) Cars they know will be tuned eventually, so why wouldn't they try to steal sales from tuners |

m5\m6 get more power, because they get the Akra exhaust inthe CP. So the Performance exhaust will be available foe the m3\m4 too and it will increase a little bit he power and reduce weight.

CP exhaust on M5/6 does not increase power at all. M5/6 had power increase to be able to drop the quoted 0-100 times to compete with the M3/4. It seems a bit silly as most stock M6 tested seem to have about 620 ps to start with. BMW couldn't have the M4 being quicker than the flagship M 6. I don't believe very much on quoted power outputs theses days but I cannot believe there will be a CP apart from a few fancy colours, trims and wheels , oh and increased price!

That I'd also like to find out. Haven't found any information on that for the US yet. If someone has a hint on that... let us know

When I ordered mine I was offered this but turned it down, for the present. Its around €2,000 and a man comes from BMW with a laptop and a CD and turns the Vmax off. You also get a driver training course with it so that BMW can't be sued in the case of you you having an accident in a too fast car. I found that pretty silly as my current car (Alpina B3 Biturbo) is rated at 285km/h and the Alpina that I had ordered but had to turn down due to a years waiting list is rated at 305 km/h. Maybe after a couple of thousand km of being harassed by BMW 5 series and Audi drivers I might get it!

Sorry you are right
When you download the brochure, it says 250. The official Homepage "technical data" says 280. Interesting question, if BMW must upgrade my car for free later. I will definitley not get, what they advertise... There is also no "drivers package" option in the official configurator. My dealer not told me as well. |
