I have a 2000 bmw 328ci with a manual transmission, i want to improve its performance but the engine has over 100k miles so i dont know if i can turbo my car or not. I dont have a lot money but, i want to find the best details to make my car much better
you can check out these sites if you wanna get the most for the money:
bavauto.com
modbargains.com
umnitza.com (they are mostly for angel eyes but they also have some cold air intake)
Ebay (sometimes you can find some good stuff)
6cyl engine could be supercharged but its a lot of $$$ ESS superchargers have them for your car but its like 5000 bucks i think.. in my opinion too much
Go for the easy stuff like cold air intake, maybe a dinan chip and a good exhaust. i personally like Remus Exhaust, its the best.. i put one on my 528i, same engine as yours… big difference and sounds good.
all these should increase your HP like 15%

understeer has one, but id like something under $400
wow im not that stupid to think that a flux capacitor is real…….why dont you get a life and stop answering questions that you cant answer. im sorry i dont sit around all day on yahoo answers and giving people halfassed answers. : )
Sorry i don’t have a real answer, but nice response to the first idiot!
have you considered "making" your own exhaust? I have a 2000 M5, and I cut off all 4 mufflers, and replaced them with straight through magnaflow pipes, and it sounds beautiful! all in all it cost me about $200, for the 4 mufflers. I will also be replacing the stock catalytic converters to high flow magnaflow mufflers soon.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the 318 only has one muffler, so if you took that off, and replaced it with a magnaflow straight through muffler ($50-$60), you could really save some money, get a great sound, and add a little more "oomph" to your ride. On a dyno, I actually gained 6 HP to the rear wheels with these pipes…

I already have the K&N Gen II CAI, and will soon purchase the shark injector. Just wondering what is the best HP for my buck.
Im guessing the best exhaust for a BMW would be to get a aftermarket exhaust from a BMW tuning company like Hamann, Dinan, AC Schnitzer, Active Autowerke, Alpina, Meistershaft, or Hartge. Maybe even go for brands that only specializes in exhausts like GReddy, Stillen, Flowmaster, Magnaflow, or Borla. If I was you, I’d go with a BMW tuning company from Germany.

im planning to buy an used ac schnitzer exhaust for my e46 bmw 325i for around $400 which is pretty cheap.
both sound and hp but i could get a new non name brand exhaust for the same price but i dont want to because it probably sucks
ac schnitzer is a great brand. but 400 for a used??? evennnn for AC schnitzer is pretty big stab in the wallet. and depends wat you mean by "good". sound? hp boost?
