It should be possible to order it from this month Septembre 2015.

In the same time, came a second MPPK for 20d engines will be available in November 2015.

Don't think so. AFAIK the MPPK has been in the works for a long time. Long before the VW scandal hit the world.

Regarding the PK for the F25/F26 N57D30A, BMW AG said: Tests will be finished and approved by end of year. Delivery starts beginning of 2016.

Ye Ye... I'll believe it when i see it. This has been so badly handled by BMW. They advertised this a year ago and it was supposed to have been available Jan 15... then oh April 15... wait, sorry June.... August after the summer Holidays.... December... now they say early 2016.... Think it might be the 2017 SQ5 or GLC Coupe for me.

The power kit seems to have disappeared from the electronic part catalogues like realoem, etc. Looks like its time to pick up a good tuning box like Steinbauer or something.

I had to wait over 2 months for a lousy muffler - although it was worth it

I'm wondering why its taking them so long. The X5 and 530d have powerkits for the same N57N in the same tune, so why so long for the X3?

Apparently it seems to be a matter of testing and approval.

Even if it is not related to VW - they might struggle with same problem - getting exhausts to legal levels- both US and EU.`

I take it, its same aftertreatment in US/EU?
Edit:30d not sold in US?
Edit:X5 same aftertreatment as X3/X4? Could differ although same base engine.

The X3/X4 powerkit only had a new DME, while for the X5 it also involves a new intercooler and brakes.

I think I remember reading somewhere, that X3/X4 30d has the El Cheapo after-treatment, while X5, because of higher weight had to get the more expensive treatment. I.e. X3/X4 is borderline - perhaps even that BMW cheated somewhat, which they perhaps does not dare to do now.

I see it as a risk that you will not get your MPPK. 35i - anybody?

Nope, but the 35d - the torque, that torque!
Seriously, I'm pretty confident that the MPPK will be available within the next few months, if not earlier.
