328xi boost

chuckgg · 04-04-2009, 03:48 PM

I have a 2007 E92 328xi. I love the car, it is fun to drive and all that. I'd like to get a litle more punch out of it. Can anyone tell me do the BMW performance exhaust and air intakes do much, are they worth it? Thanks.

I am not sure of the impact of the BMW performance products, but in my previous cars, an intake and exhaust would only produce minimal results. The best thing that came from it for me was a better sound and a little better throttle response.

You will get better throttle response from the intake and the exhaust sound alone will make the car so much more enjoyable to drive...Performance wise it would be minimal gain if anything, but definitely worth getting to furthur enhance the driveability of the car which you already love!

Agreed with both, I been looking for the same stuff, not really much out there for us. I would do the intake, adds some nice sound and throttle response helps alot. I would go with coilovers, I think about it this way,you might not get to the curve the fastest with a 328 compared to another car, but you can sure as hell go around it faster!

it will be very minimal, about 10-15hp AT THE MOST...but still it will feel a little more fun to drive. i had a gruppe m rep intake on my 330 and i LOVED it...

At the risk of sounding stupid or at naive what are coilovers?
