Unless you are some really rich kid I doubt that you can afford this. Its not like modifying a Honda. BMW modifications are a real money pit. Drive the car and get to know it better (engine and handling) before you make any decisions on modifications. Some mods are more suited to a certain persons taste and how you would like it to handle, so what other people recommend might not be to your liking. I would suggest that you check out some of the more popular sites to found out what you like. <p>www.bekkers.com

www.bavauto.com
www.dinan.com
etc etc |

| People tell me that buying the chip is the cheapest upgrade for the most horsepower for the BMW. <p> |

| Chips are good however you have to be careful about which one you buy. Typically they just crank up timing and you'll likely need to run higer octane of fuel to compensate otehrwise you'll get detonation. Which chip are you looking at? |

| I have heard the Dinan Chip is pretty good, but I think you're right, you'll have to use a higher octane fuel. |

| Yeah I hear pumping your tires up with Helium will decrease your rotating mass enough to give you .5 off your 0-60! |

| Yup, there's plenty of super/turbocharger kits for BMW's. It's a matter of having the $$$.:D<p>I can't remember the names, but I'll post up some more info if I can find my old magazines. |
