From a NA owner to another I suggest you just do cosmetic mods since not much we can do with performance. I have nothing against going performance but you would need deep pockets to see gains.
In my opinion, buy some rims, coilovers, new bumpers, sideskirts, black kidney grills, etc. But if you want sound then I suggest an exhaust, intake, and for performance go for a real tune or for a cheaper route piggy back tune (BMS PBX), and that's about all I can suggest. By the way enjoy your car |

Congrats on the first car, I'm a little older and my first ride was an 87 dodge shadow with a 2.2 turbo. I digress... But everyone is right, stay away from engine more, not much you can do. But that doesn't mean you can't get some suspension mods but they may be a little pricey for coils and stuff.
If no suspension, go with black kidney grills, a light tint like 35 or 50%. |

A couple of hundred bucks....this is what I did with my past 2006 325xi..... 1. Muffler delete....buy some nice tips for the rear...I went with a dual magnaflow on the one pipe. About $150-200 2. If you have a manual and sport package.....get the M3 or M teck steering wheel from the guy off of ebay from Europe. This will be about $250-$300..worth every cent and he provides fast shipping from his country! 3. Get a matching short throw shifter from BMW (Tischer or Reeves) that matches the steering wheel. I got the dimpled M knob. About $140 Treat your ears and hands to some nice mods that are much cheaper than a new set of rims. Being a 325 you can mod some for more HP, but it will be expensive. |
