Sorry, my German doesn't go much beyond that. Is it available in English or Spanish?

The BMW Performance Power Kit consists of both software and hardware components including additional water cooling. The kit will be installed and covered under warranty by BMW. In European terms this gives the engine 20 more horsepower (326 from 306) and 50 more Newton meters (450 from 400). In the US that should figure to somewhere in the 321 hp and 336 ft/lbs neighborhood. The performance increase is noted as .2 of a second from a standstill to .5 seconds faster in the passing range.
Official US information has not been released but we have heard for some months that this was in the works and that we could expect something at dealers in April. We will update you as we hear more so as always stay tuned!

There is translation here

There's also a mention of Performance suspension lowering by 25mm, new wheels (19" for the 3er, 18" for the 1er), performance sport seats with integrated airbags, whole bunch of other interior upgrades. The 7 speed DKG is also available in Europe on the 335i coupé and cabriolet.

Honestly, the EfficientDynamics was more interesting.
