I've been very curious because I've seen some people spend thousands of dollars on these 330i's. I mean is it all really worth it in the end???
I wanna know all this cause I own a 330i myself haha.
So yeah if anyone can answer me it be great!!  |
Here's the breakdown of what I have, and the prices when new (I bought some stuff used to save cash)
gruppe m rep cf closed intake- $700
BMS powerbox- $300
Scoops - $40
Meisterschaft exhaust- ~$1200
Eisenmann catless, resonated SR midpipes -$800
And then heavy, wide VMR wheels which slow the car down a bit
and to be honest, it sounds great, has a much livelier feel, but I barely pull a car on a bone stock 330i, run dead even with my friends G35 auto coupe... and probably have maybe 15 crank hp out of all this. Maybe wit a better tune such as AA or OE (which I plan on doing soon) I will feel more a difference.
The return is not very good in terms of power on these cars, but I will admit that my car is intoxicating to drive with the throttle response, handling, and sound, and in the end of the day it is worth it to me
If I wanted a fast straight line car, I could have got an SRT4 neon like one of my friends has, and smoked most cars on the road for less than the purchase price of my used bimmer...
