A simple ECU reflash will get you up to the European Spec 325i performance range.

323i CA 2007+ 2.5 L I6 200 bhp (149 kW; 203 PS) 180 lb·ft (244 N·m)
325i EUR 2005–2007 2.5 L I6 218 PS (160 kW; 215 bhp) 250 N·m (184 lb·ft)

I spoke with a tuning company, and they said that on the Euro 325i they were able to produce figures around 233hp and 206 lb/ft.

On top of that, primary cat removal and retaining the OEM exhaust shows a 15whp gain on top of everything, which is not bad for a engine which is a high-reving 2.5L straight-6.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread... If you get the EU spec ECU Flash, do you need to run 94(93) octane fuel?

Is there someone in the GTA who can do this?
