PPK tune?

Is there anywhere still selling a PPK tune for the 135i (n55)?

There's a possibility you can find a third party to code it in for you....

The PPK2 is inclusive of the software tune and the additional cooling hardware. You don't need to have the cooling hardware to run the software tune which is the PPK1.

Was thinking, a very nice and close to stock tune is the Dinan Stage 2 tune. I had it, and you can flash it on top of PPK and retain the PPK burbles. Dinan S2 has a little more HP and quite a bit more torque than PPK, and it's now more affordable than ever at $249.95 at a Dinan authorized dealer, or $349.95 for the kit you can flash yourself at home.

This is like BMW power, just more of it. Had mine, with PPK, for more than 3 years and did not have one problem. And I'm not the only one. I'm telling you, these two are great together. Don't know if you're planning to do more, like MHD, but this will make for a very fun and reliable car. Honestly, you will not have one CEL (because of the tunes).

Don't know if you're interested. Just thought I'd say.

Here's a link to Dinan Stage 2:

Purchased from top gear solutions and the process was very easy. The car doesn't run any hotter and throttle response and feel is miles better. It feels slightly faster not that big of a difference and the slight burble is nice as well.

I'd say no to both of those but you can check with Dinan to see if they can give you any more info.

I have PPK 1 Rom 98H version and a Cobb tuner. Stage 2 maps eliminate CELs.
