So do you have a question that cant be answered by using the search feature here or on Google? Because I'm not seeing it if you do.

only for a fellow Tampa resident : from what I've read, if have a 330i you're close to as far as you can go without changing NVH. NA Possibilities:
Active Autowerke tune (AA tune) 3 stage intake (330i already has) headers muffler delete I can only vouch for the AA tune. Worth it for 328i, not sure about value for 330i. Aftermarket intakes could be included but their value is debatable (at least on this forum). I've found suspension mods to be more entertaining. And other posters are right. You can learn a lot on your own simply by browsing this sub-forum. |

If you're ok with not keeping it NA, a supercharger from MMW (not quite on the market yet as far as I know) or ARMA would be the way to go:
ARMA kit (no clue about cost): http://www.armaspeed.com/eng/goods.php?act=cat&no=22 MMW kit ($6,500): http://mmotorwerks.net/component/jsh...ct/view/12/145 If you want to try and make more NA power than anyone else (dedicated race cars excluded) I've heard of: Active Autowerke stage 2 tune($499): http://store.activeautowerke.com/act...ware-p149.aspx MMW ceramic coated race headers($1,100): http://store.activeautowerke.com/act...ware-p149.aspx Noelle Motors stroker kit (Around $16,000): http://www.noellemotors.de/3_2l_engi...7f2dc4c.0.html Things that will work for both: Lightweight wheels. Apex ARC-8's look good for how little they weigh: http://www.apexraceparts.com/3-Serie...E902_c_19.html JB Racing Lightweight aluminum flywheel to get more power to the wheels ($629.95): http://store.vacmotorsports.com/jbr-...dsg-p2433.aspx Aaaand we're done here |

Seriously though if you want a fast sedan, send your Gallardo to Heffner Performance to get a couple snails slapped onto that v10, weld a hitch to the frame, attach 325i to said hitch and listen to that howling italian purr. Yup, howling and purring. It's the Cat Dog of vehicles |

I have a 330i and to be fair there is not a great deal you can do HP wise to it without spending $$$ and potentially screwing around with longevity. I think you would be better going with a great set of michelin super sports and some BMW/billstein performance shocks. Less wheel spin and faster in the turns.
