Hi, I'm thinking of hoping up my 325is and wonder what easy and economical power mods are avaliable other than the chip option?


Thanks, Karl


How economical do you wanna be? Engine tuning, really getting inside the motor and tweaking stuff, isn't gonna be a cheap process. If you wanna keep it a 2.5liter engine then you can get a 288 cam for better midrange power. Get a bigger intake and free flowing exhaust. With the chip that'll give you quite a kick in the pants. But it's not a fully tuned motor either. Cost starts to rise really fast when you tune an engine. Keep that in mind.
