Guys I'm really floored about the time each of you took to provide a myriad of suggestions, thank you so much! This gives me a lot to consider and research. Once I start digging into these I may have some one-off questions if you don't mind providing further education/resources.
I also appreciate the compliments on the car - I've admired these E92s ever since they were released. It's rare to find a car that looks amazing from every angle. I've been biding my time until they became more affordable.. and now here we are!
I probably should have mentioned this before but I'll be driving this car 1-2 times per week at short/medium distances but occasionally taking it a few hours away to the mountains. My general goals for this car is to give it some more power (especially at the low end of the RPM range), give it a better tone without being 'loud', and handle better (likely in that order) without putting the old engine at too much risk.
Noir - definitely interested in the intake manifold!
