330I BMW Upgrades

[riceline]

Hey guys

The old man has a 2002 330I BMW that is about to come out of warranty.

The whole time he has had it he has wanted a little more power (he is a Ex Pro Drag Racer). Only prob is he has spend most of his time on Carby's.

We have figured that the best things for him to do would be.

1- Exhaust

2- Intake

3- ECU Chip

4- Sat navigation

What I would like to know is. What type of exhaust would be best on the BMW? He does not want something noisy but wants it to have a bit of bite.

Intake. Pod filter or K&N Panel filter with CAI?

ECU Chip - Where to get this done? What can be expected from it? Is it safe?

Sat Navigation - Is there a system that will hook into the factory TV/Stereo system? It was a 3K option 3 years ago that he thought he didn't need. Now he wants it but doesn’t believe its worth 3K

Thanks guys

Gruppe M CAI box

super sprint high flow cat + catback ($2-3k?)

or

Illumina/Aivx titainium catback(5k?) if he willing to pay

Im not sure if its possible to retrofit the bmw sat navi into the car again

regardless im sure that no aftermarket sat nav can blend seamlessly into the the tv screen on the car.

With regard to power, i think the best power up option will be an ESS supercharger kit that gives the 330 more torque than an M3.

Go on the net and seach for ESS supercharger. I think u can find it on www.my330i.com

total tab for that should be abt 10k aud

Cheap ECU upgrade: http://www.mth-powerchip.de/

Get the cable, pay for the software then copy your existing DME map then send it to the guy named Franz. Tell him what it's got etc then he will send you a new map for you to upload. All up, $200.

There's quite a few different intakes available but the Gruppe M probably looks the slickest. Hope this helps.
