Getting such high whp # without touching the main cat is probably only attainable with a really great tune(European ones only) and changing the gearing in the Transmission or LSD or smth similar.

This is about 2.5k in cost and hassle(shipping the insured ecu to Europe) and at that point you have to ask what is your goal with the car(show, raw performance, etc)
That is alot of money that gets you wheels, suspension and lips/bodykits.

What ever you do realize that its only a 330i or 328i and outside this forum no one will care if u spent 3k extra to make the car unique.
