Another MPPK installed...
I finally bit the bullet yesterday while having the annual low mileage oil/filter service performed, 2017 with just under 4,000 miles. $1150 for the software and install at $128.00 (1 hour labor rate). We had a 90+ mile drive home from the servicing BMW Center so it was all interstate. Passing acceleration from 70+ is definitely quicker. I got on the go pedal pretty hard once back home on familiar roads in sport mode and with the transmission over to the left in sport. Wow... so far I am impressed! From everything I have previously read the MPPK gets even better after a few tanks of petrol. Looking forward to reporting back.
Side note, I found this strange and rather aggravating, but after programming both front seats were moved fully forward and to the highest height. Naturally any seat memory had been lost/erased. Does anyone have a clue as to what else is updated during a MPPK install? Update: From what I have found BMW NA updates other modules at the same time. Is there any truth to this?

BTW, I did receive the red envelope back that contains the serial number and key code to download and install the MPPK. I was somewhat surprised given that most owners do not get it back after install.

They usually update all the modules during a programming like this so it’s natural some memory settings would get reset.

The X5 is definitely putting down more power with the MPPK. The midrange power and low-range torque are the most noticeable changes. I find myself being way more judicious with my right foot when using sport mode. It's addictive. I still don't hear the pops and burbles from the exhaust with just the MPPK. It's possible my hearing is going 😬 Sure would sound nice with the MPE attached to it 🤔 |
