M Performance Power Kit (PPK) released for 218 hp N20B20

Jason · 06-07-2013, 10:48 AM

The M Performance Power Kit has been released [details] for the F20 125i powered by the 218hp N20B20 engine, so hopefully this is a sign we may see a PPK for the 245hp N20 of the F30 328i.

The N20B20 PPK gave the 125i an extra 20 hp / 29.5 lb-ft (40 Nm) torque.

20hp is basically the dyno avg for JB1, so not bad!

MikeVictor · 06-07-2013, 04:41 PM

Thanks, Jason.

At EUR900, that makes for AUD1250 or about USD1200.

simply a tune can gain more then that which costs half of it. Only difference is its covered under warranty

That is a promising sign for F30 328i owners...

Certainly might be

Safety2213 · 06-10-2013, 10:41 AM

I searched the internet and found the following M Performance newsletter for Norway. It details the 125 F20 PPK however nothing for the 328i.

BMW-M-Performance-Newsletter.pdf

Looks like a host of F32 parts will be available. It may be a good time to introduce the N20 solution for the 328i/428i. Interesting read.

e92ben · 06-13-2013, 03:12 PM

Anyone hear of any update for the 328i ppk?

One week later there's nothing more to report.

Amit328 · 06-24-2013, 05:38 PM

If the n20 ppk for the 125i was just released how much longer will they make those of us with the f30 wait, surely its a larger market.

Teemo Panda · 06-24-2013, 06:26 PM

I'm going to wait patiently for the IS spec N20 ppk, I have a strong sense it will come, it's just a matter of time

Calm down mate there's nothing. Your FOMO is working overtime.

Just so bored of my 328i. Coming from a high powered 335i it just sucks. I bought this car for work and daily since I use my m5 for weekends and its so un-thrilling after a week lol

So man up, you PM'd me about my BMS stage 1. I took it off the car, it's ready to ship out.

Driving it for a day without it, man-it's clear the BMS makes a noticeable gain.

Haha yeah I was just waiting for the last minute for a oem upgrade for warranty purposes before I take the plunge back to bms products. Lol

Lemme just copy and paste the reply to that question I just had in a PM:

"I am going to want the full stage 2 when it is out of Beta testing, but know it's going to be months and months.

In the mean time my E36/7, I REALLY need to beef up the headgasket or it's going to blow. I am trying to enjoy it and driving it most of the summer. I am not taking household funds to do this project as to have a happy wife.

So I would rather take the tune off the 328 since I am driving it so little this summer, fund the rebuild of the Roadster so I can have it done in the next week or so. By the time I put the Roadster away in October/November, I am thinking stage 2 BMS will be out of beta and buy it then.

Might sound a bit nuts, but makes sense to me lol."

My guess is the PPK is 6+ months out.

Safety2213 · 07-12-2013, 12:25 PM

Just read in Car and Driver that Audi will be releasing a 4 door S3 next year rated in 296 hp and 280 lb ft torque from a 2.0 turbo charged 4. As I found the product sheet which details the M Performance Upgrades to compete with S line Audis, I think a M Performance PPK will make sense as BMW can come to close to matching the Audi's S3 numbers - keeping in mind that the new 1 & 2 series will go directly head to head with the A3 / S3 Audis.

F30epop · 07-12-2013, 04:36 PM

I'm content with my 328i and appreciate a warranty. More power would be nice so I will patiently wait for the PPK.

I agree with you on this

it's either PPK or Cobb AP.
