Well you've got about 167 right now...BMW engines don't seem to loose much power over the years.

To get to 200hp is going to be kinda tough. The max the m20 engine can put out on stock compression and displacment is about 225hp.

For 200hp your going to need:

Camshaft 282/282
Fuel pressure regulator
Perfromance ignition wires
K&N cone with heat shield
Exhaust system (headers to muffler)
Custom chip to make everything run perfect


Headwork, a throttle body, a MAF, high compression pistons, aluminum flywheel, and headers should also be considered.
