I'm not looking to sink a ton of money into small performance gains, but by the looks of it I'm already $1700 of the way there. A couple hundo on an AA tune might be worth it for 20-30HP.

[QUOTE=alexwhittemore;13908530]So I'm back to thinking about this. If I've already got a DISA intake (so [URL="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=PH57&mospid=51050&btnr=11_3756& hg=11&fg=40e. A couple hundo on an AA tune might be worth it for 20-30HP.[/QUOTE]
here is wat u need to get to around 255-270hp (dyno vary from car to car) if N51= tune + exhaust + intake (pre-manifold) if N52 = DISA + tune + exhaust + intake (pre-manifold) n51 save u about $1000 but u do have about 3-5 hp less then N52 after all the above.

Why not more horsepower? Marketing. There have been three 3-series drivetrain choices for quite a while. The 323/325/328 (US, and quite a few others, depending where you are in the world), 328/330/335, and the M3. At first it was less displacement (2.5 vs 3.0), then when they went to a common 3.0 block, differences in intake and exhaust. Of course, the M's were quite different.
With the intro of the 300hp 335, it wouldn't do to have a 255-270 hp "entry level" car ... too little product differentiation ... hence a detuned 328. Sad, because it costs very little more to manufacture a full-zoot 3 liter 330 equivalent powertrain, but quite a lot to convert a 328 to 330 spec. |

Maybe a well balanced tune, 3 stage, bmw performance intake and PE exhaust is the route to go? Or should I leave out the 3 stage all together; but it is a more advanced intake system.. I just don't know. |
