could the same aftermarket parts be used for the bmw 330ci(2001-2005)?

the same parts could used as in cold air intakes and mufflers, but as in engine parts no, because the m3 has different motor internals as the 330ci

Depending on the severity of the scratch, length, depth, you can try a few different approaches.

1. wax over it, it may be very shallow.

2. Get a good quality swirl remover/polish. Nothing too abrasive. Go to town with a cloth and be sure to rub only in one direction…front to back/back front or side to side. This will limit the number of swirls you will create.

3. Same polish with a random orbit or normal buffer. Be careful with this one, you can eat through a lot of layers very quickly.

4. Maybe step up to a slightly more abrasive polish.

5. Take it to a pro and have them try and/or repaint.

To have a detailer take out the scratch and only the scratch you are probably looking at around $50 maybe less. To have it repainted you are in the $150+ range if it’s the whole hood.

What kind will give it a deeper sound and make it sound mean?

Congrats on your E93, that’s a mean car you’ve got there.

Currently the only E93 exhaust I know of is the Active Autowerke system. It’ll run you about $2,700 for the whole system, plus assuming you want the software to let it run at it’s full potential it can be more. It’ll provide somewhere around +15hp more than stock, it weighs 12lbs less than the stock exhaust, and it gives it that beautiful Active Autowerke sound. It will probably void your warranty, though. I’d wait a few months for the price to go down and more options to come out, though.

go to www.realoem.com and type in either the last 7 of the VIN or else drill down through the menus by body, year, model, engine, transmission.. then go to the exhaust system category.

This site is great as it shows pictures and lists part numbers for everything on the car.

I need to know if i get a sport exhaust and a air filter, how much horse power will it give me?

With an aftermarket air filter on your car I seriously doubt you will get 15-20 (regardless of what the ads say….and if you get close to that gain, thats at the crank and so in terms of rwHP, where you will really notice it – will be minimal.

Now thats not to say if you want to increase your performance – they are needed.

HP gains are expensive and for your car considering stock rating at the crank is in the range of 330HP.

true meaningful gains will be headers (intandem with perf.
exhaust catbacks)

ultimately if you want to seriously enhance your car, it will be via forced induction (supercharger or turbo).

there are bolt on installations available, low boost (requiring NO enhancements to your heads or internals). this will give you plus100hp gain when the supercharger is engaged……truly meaningful
