(230hp Stock) 2007 328i 2007 E92 N52 Any feedback would be appreciated!
Active Autowerke BMW E90 / E92 328i / E82 128i N52 Performance Tune Software (15hp approx)
AFE Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Intake (7hp approx)
BMW N52 PERFORMANCE EXHAUST HEADER (20hp approx)
330i Intake Manifold Kit for 2006-13 BMW N52 (30hp approx)
ESS N52 VT1 Supercharger System (Gen.2) (100hp approx)
The engine has to be tuned of course after all these mods, but with all these mods added to the car do you all believe the car could pull 400+ hp?
I'm really new to the tuning world educate me please and correct me if I'm wrong but besides engine improvement there are other factors that affect performance such as weight reduction and wheel size. Like I said, correct me if I'm wrong but smaller wheels provide better acceleration so if I wanted to improve that I should settle for 16"s? I've also heard muffler deletes can add more horsepower rather than a new exhaust system; would there be more gains in power with a delete rather than a performance exhaust system? Is there any other mods I could add to my car other than the ones I provided that could give it gains or is that all I can pretty much do with my engine? Appreciate you all.

It doesn't work that way. You don't just add horsepower just by adding potential gains. Some mods compliment each other but don't necessarily give most gains when combined. For example, exhaust claims about 20 hp, but if you have any mods, most likely you can pick up maybe 5-10?
The best approach for what you are listing is BPC tune as they offer a supercharger tune that works with all other addons. However, what you posited is going to cost you over $8,000 (sc kit 5k, headers ~1k, tune ~700, pe exhaust 1000, intake manifold $200, intake 300, etc. )
My recommendation is to do go with BPC tune ($700), 3 stage intake manifold (200), milvs (350), revo hose (50) and exhaust (700). You will get great balance of power with awesome sound for about $2000. |
Thanks for the feedback Where could I find the tune from BPC? Link? UPDATE: Ohh I see what you mean lol 😂😂😂 nvm sorry
