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%

and what should be used to buff it out?
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.

its a 94 325is 5 spd and when it runs it has white smoke coming out of the exhaust does this mean my head gasket is blown?
White smoke means water in the exhaust.
If it is a lot of white smoke, The most likely source is engine coolant getting into the combustion chambers.
Just a little white smoke could be a non-issue. Condensation in the muffler or some such.
Has the car over heated?
Possible causes:
Warped head.
Blown head gasket.
Cracked block.
BTW a ‘94 325i is a six cylinder…
