Tuning options for 330i and performance exhausts?

NFS · 07-23-2008, 02:54 AM

Are there any performance mods worth bothering with on an NA petrol car?

Some of the remap guys are offering packages for the 330i offering 25-30hp increases, but is it worth it?

Also .. whats the general view on performance exhausts? I love the noise of the straight 6, but sometimes would like it to be a bit more rorty?

Its all about how much money you want to spend.

A full miltek exhaust and remap K&Ns will get 30-50bhp

Change the cams, add a supercharger (mikem)...........put an M5 engine in

the sky is the limit.......

One of the guys on bmwland was selling an ESS supercharger for £1500 for a 330i, that would have given you 300bhp and taken the 0-60mph time down to 5 seconds.

I tried to buy an E46 330i touring jsut so I could buy it off him, but didn't find one in time!!

zorst and filters wont give you anywhere near 30-50bhp.

Cant see a re-map giving 30 bhp when it only gives 45ish on a turbo engined vehicle.

Banfg for buck go with a supercharger. (Will kill resale) But will go like the clappers.

But otherwise go for zorst and filter, still talking best part of a grand for approx 10-15bhp
