Where is the MPPK for 340?

I've read a few threads but have not seen any official info. My 340 is almost here.

Last rumor... it will be released later in the year?

Does anyone have BMWNA Part Numbers?

Check this thread... It looks like it's on hold right now for the US.

Well looks like no Portside installation, no free labor, no invoice pricing, no four-year/50,000 mile warranty on the exhaust, whine, whine some more

yah - I think all of us with 340's on order have been watching that thread like a hawk. I have officially given up hope... my 340i is scheduled to be worked on at the VPC in New Jersey TODAY... no MPPK or MPE for me... Did not want to just get MPE although it looks to maybe be available.

All speculation - was supposed to launch in Nov, then Dec, now we're in Jan. Guy at BMWNA I spoke with looked into it and said something similar to what was said in that thread - no info, historically 6 months from new model launch...

Maybe the 340 MPPK takes the power levels to close to M3/4 territory and would poach sales so BMW just said,"Nah"?

Maybe the take rate on the 335 / 435 MPPK doesn't make it worth it?

They're in no great rush to develop for a product that's just been released (340) and they know they will be selling for years to come. The downside of early adoption.

It does, but the MPPK for 340 is already out in Germany as the Power and Sound Kit which includes the MPE. Just hasn't been released for US yet.

Do you have confirmation of that? I've not seen MPPK mentioned as being available for any country. It might be listed with part nos but I don't think it's available yet.

Is the PPK software already in the DME and unlocked via FSC activation code?

Perhaps BMW wants to release it at the same time as the M3 MPPK (Competition Package), so that the M3 can maintain a reasonable HP/TQ distance relative to 340i.

http://www.bmwblog.com/2016/01/08/co...bmw-m3-and-m4/

That would indicate a release in February or March.

There's no way the MPPK 340i will have anywhere close to 480 crank horsepower (M3/4)....more like 380, if that. So I don't think, in my humble opinion, it has anything to do with encroaching on the f80.

To expect a certain output number seems a little silly since that number is going to be based on the reading of some dyno. But it is probably fair to say the MPPK with the 340i will increase output around 20whp and 20-30tq from stock levels.

Considering what the B58 put down completely stock on 93 it is possible.

It's already been reported to be released mid-ish 2016 in the US
