Anyone got any update ?

I was at the dealer today and asked about this power and sound kit. Apparently it is not available yet.

All they could see in their system was the m performance exhaust.

I wonder if that is the exact same exhaust you get when you go with the power and sound kit.

Maybe one could buy the exhaust first and then get the software when available later. No one at the dealer could confirm this would be possible though.

The way BMW is going these days, I'm surprised they don't just program some exhaust "noise" in the car stereo and charge their usual premium for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if boy racers paid for it and loved it.... they'd just need the speakers on the outside.

Tune, upgraded torque converter and exhaust.

As i mentioned in the other thread, you need to also buy exhaust tips and rear bumper trim.
Or that is at least how it is sold in Europe.
Maybe these are included in the kit in some other areas.

I don't know if the exhaust in the kit and MPE are really different but they do have separate part numbers.

$6500? Crazy high price. You are at the wrong dealer.

£2250 mppsk fully fitted UK dealership. Would be approx $3k. That includes the chrome trims.

Exhaust system, torque converter, 550 bumper trim required for a 540 install, M Perf exhaust tips, tune and install for $4k

All of it was installed by my local BMW dealer in Dallas.

Not a give away price for sure but when you pair the MPPSK with Dinan Stage 1 it's a blast to drive.

I am thinking of the MPPSK and I wondered if those who have had it installed could advise me on whether the change in the torque converter makes any difference in the way the automatic drives and shifts. Does it make the shifts more clunky like when it is Sport Plus? Or no discernible change? I wonder in fact why they needed to do anything to the torque converter. Is the original one at its maximum limits for torque? Thanks--Bob,
