PPK for M2 ???

AGM2 · 03-13-2017, 04:23 PM

Might be a lame question, but is there a PPK for the M2?
I know there are a number of aftermarket 'tuning chips' available to 'boost' performance but I would prefer an OEM product.

Nah, doesn't exist and won't ever happen. At least for the N55.

i always thought the M Driver's Package would be a no-brainer if along with the increased to speed and 1 day racing school it bumped hp and torque by ~15. Is there not a little left in the N55 that the engineers could tweak?

Turbo is already maxed out and car will overheat using existing hardware - hence temporary "overboost". So no, nothing to "tweak". Power limitation has nothing to do with the N55 engine, but rather restricted air flow into the engine combined with inadequate cooling. So with a tiny turbo being run outside of its efficiency zone and a tiny M235i intercooler you build up heat fast on boost. M2's stock fueling can handle something like 80hp over current levels of airflow.

The true i only do the PPK for the sound, but i think this car have the PPK already M

Probably has a different turbo???

edit: yes they replaced the tiny stock turbo

"The Alpina B3 S and B4 S Bi-Turbo based on the LCI version of F30/F31/F32/F33 is out. It's still N55 based with twinscroll replaced by two separated turbos. "

Good to know. If we want more, add bigger snails or at least more of them.
