BMW Performance Power Kit

matt · 03-13-2009, 12:09 PM

DANG!!!!
BMW put the kit up on the accessories catalog.

Hi ADC, you do not get my point. No problem. Doesn't matter
Nice, the PP foto. Do you have the website link?

S54dan · 03-13-2009, 01:48 PM

I will not have confirmation to release information until Wednesday the 18th as BMW NA's head of BMW Performance is out until then (as am I)

Add1ct · 03-13-2009, 04:22 PM

i heard from an anonymous source (not Dan) that the us kit is just a flash, anyway- that all looks very cool, and very costly to install too

Explains why there is a false grill in the drivers side wheel well. If it take .2 sec of the 0-60 that must be more than 20 HP.

BMW-driver · 03-14-2009, 08:51 AM

Hi Holo777. I wouldn't be surprised if the powergain is much more then only 20bhp. As we all know, BMW is very conservative about their powernumbers. I suggest the car wil put out appr. 350bhp. And that is a regular stage 1 softwaretune (like I have). And with the benefits of BMW garantuy and hardware modifications.
By the way, do I see also another PP air-intake for the 135i on that picture?

only for hatch's

arrutled · 03-16-2009, 07:31 AM

I can wait for june for a power kit. This is pretty exciting.

CDR_UK · 03-16-2009, 09:29 AM

The rep at the Geneva show told me it will be about 2000 EURO, and will actually be available in around 6 weeks.

That's the 1st actual number we've heard, thanks for sharing.

Not surprising though, right?

Add1ct · 03-17-2009, 10:43 AM

not surprising, but nonetheless outrageous
btw I had a pm, I think on e90post, and I will keep the sender anonymous, but he/she said that the kit in the us is supposed to just be a software tune, I guess we will find that out tomorrow am, when Dan can release info

$2,597 is ridiculously over priced !

135iUSN · 03-17-2009, 11:11 AM

i just wanted to be view 6700 - and post one more time. Can't wait for info from Dan on Wednesday...(i think)

holo777 · 03-17-2009, 01:26 PM

Haha. 2000 Euro isn't a bad price if it includes a new fan and second oil cooler. I bet dealerships are going to require at least that for the installation.

I believe it is an add-on coolant radiator, not an oil cooler.

Have Fun,
