Performance Power Kit 2 - Instructions Attached

Finally figured out how to attach the PPK2 Instructions to a thread. Hope these help anyone attempting a DIY installation. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

BMW what's what a $1k for this?
Is it really worth it?
How much more HP do you really get?
And well does it mean a better behaved longer lived engine if not abused?

I don't believe the software flash is any different than BMW's PPK 1. The advantage of the PPK 2nd the additional hardware consisting primarily of an auxiliary radiator and a higher output radiator fan.

Pig farmer: do you know what is the MSD80 option? In the instructions says that only cars with that option come with the ECU. I havent receive it.
Thanks

My understanding is that if you have the MSD80, you need to upgrade to the MSD81 before receiving the flash. I believe BMW switched to the MSD81 for cars with a production date after March 2008. Maybe someone else can confirm this. My car is a 2009 and I had no problems at all.

Are there instructions for self-flashing PPK?

No. The instructions are for installing the additional hardware that comes with the PPK2. I believe the PPK software has to be loaded into the ECU by the dealer.

Actually, PPK can be installed by anyone capable of coding an N55 135i with an early 2012 production date or older. There are coders here on the forum who will do it for you as well.
