It's a shame they didn't make it like MPPSK, the M340i is an amazing car and deserves a better sound.

There is also an MPE for the 340 with no tune. The MPPSK has two valves that open on each side and are closed in comfort and below 4K rpm, when it's open you basically have a straight pipe cat back exhaust vs. this the exhaust gases still pass through the muffler when the valve is open.

Could still see bmw coming out with an MPPSK down the road, on the f30 it took a year to two after they upgraded to the B58. And that was at LCI so deep into the lifecycle (also true they had the tune and exhaust separate on the n55)
If I had to guess they want to get the M3 final power figures sorted out and car released to market (although the s58 is in the wild in the mx3) and evaluate demand for the kit before offering another bridge to get the m340 closer to m3. |
The N55 MPPK did come with an intake, the MPE was sold separately. Not sure when the MPPK came out. My understanding was that the power output on the G20 M340 was already substantially higher than the F30 MPPSK it was like they were including it standard so they weren't going to release a separate power kit, just an exhaust as the power level is already getting close to the previous M3. Looking at the power levels in the X3M and X3M comp/X4M should give us an idea of what the next M3 will be like. If the power kit is topping 400 horsepower that is getting close to S58 base territory. Not sure how much more people would spend with BM3 being much cheaper though I'm not sure when or if the current BM3 will work with B58TU.
