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.

Funny thing is he's been here long enough to have learned how to use the search button.

As much as your Gallardo, but hey, at least it'll give you a chance to keep up with the 335s.

$12k

[mlifxs]

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

lol exactly. Just wanted to state everything that has been offered for the n52 to avoid any "what about _____" statements. Someone wants to spend a huge amount of cash for not all that impressive power figures, good for them.

He said he has a 330i so he already has a 3 stage intake manifold. But hopefully some 328i/325i people will stumble upon this, haha. I still have to get my hands on one. They always pop up right after I've just purchased another mod, but I'll get around to it.

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

[8355adam]

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.
