BMW Performance upgrade UPDATE
BMW called me today with official pricing and availability.
As I have a dec 07 car I need to have a new ECU as well  ( that also makes it more expensive for me.£1325 Kit £506 Labour £1831 incl VAT 326 BHP 450 NM As I have the Performance Exhaust and getting an uprated FMIC fitted next week, I should be able to get about 340BHP, if not a little more. I can't wait to see someone get this kit fitted and see what a Dyno Rub shows.......it's gotta be better than 20BHP

With just SSTT (UK Superchips) a few have dyned ~370 BHP and 520 NM torque. Thats £200 (from SSTT, USA) for > 50 BHP and 100 NM over stock - makes the BMW effort seem a little over priced. You would still get the full BMW warranty though. Will be good to see just how high these BMW modifed cars dyno. Mad. |

Have any other 135i owners recieved the power upgrade brochure through the post from BMW?
Seems they are really trying to push this upgrade but I cannot justify the cost. For an extra 60hp I would take the plundge but the £2K outlay for 20 ponies is just too much. |

Got this last week Mike. Can't justify the cost at the moment - my SSTT does just fine. If I change to Z4 35i, I intend to get the power upgrade and combine with SSTT. Mad. |

Yup I got a letter the other day!
Seems very costy for a small amount of extra power. Think the JB3 would be the better spend......THOUGH bmw say they fit a power powerful fan to keep the engine cooler....so im thinking of gettin the BMW upgrade, then the JB3....... hmmmmmmm  |

They list the parts seperately. So, would be interesting to see if they would supply and fit the ducting, fan, motor etc and not the ECU ? Then you could Map elswhere whist having better cooling.
