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

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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
