How to improving a significant Performance?
GUYS
I have E90 320i with some mods. I spend around 2,300 USD (it's a bit pricey for this kind of equipment in Bangkok) for ECU Remaping, Sebring Quad Exhaust System and K&N Intake but I cannot notice any significant improvement and sometime I think my top speed is a bit less from before.... However I can notice a slightly improvement in Torque around middle-range but I look for more than I can get from the money that I spend. from what I have see in Dyno Chart and my experience that most Tuner claim that they can gain 25+ 30+ or 40+ HP from ECU Remapping. I think it's bullshit. So anybody have any suggestions to increase my HP in my little 320i ?

Guys
In my country, 320i is cost around 80,000 USD which I think I can already have a 335i or M3 in USA or UK as well.... That's the problem....

The 320i is not really a fast car to start with. I think you are going to spend a ton of cash trying to make that car faster. It's very likely getting a 328 or 335 will be cheaper in the long run.

That's an expensive one. Couldn't you try to get one by European Delivery? I wonder if that would have turned out cheaper?

aren't there any thats locally assembled? Because i go to malaysia very often, and the 320i and 325i can be ordered to be assembled in Malaysia, so its like a lot cheaper, still expensive compared to US prices, but its not fully imported....

Yep It's locally assembled in Thailand but GOV still have the policy for taxing such vehicle at high-rated...
Otherwise I can see lot of M3 in Bangkok already cuz we have to pay for normal 3 series in M3 price..... or pay for 525i in M5 price......

Change the differential final drive ratio. You won't get any gain in HP but WILL get a gain in performance.
