as far as I know that 315hp number is achieved with the following.
Catless headers from south African 330i racer
Race ecu
valvetronic locked at full tilt, to use the e36Itb
custom cams
E87 bmw race spec exhaust
Probably different fuel injection.


So at best we can mimic only exhaust, headers and valvetronic remap via a tune.
