Need more Power on my M52B22

[ahmad]

Hi ppl

I just bought a M54B22 BMW E46 320i 2.2 Coupe.

i wanna know what i have to do to get some more power, im not looking for turbo or something like that.

thinking about, Exhoust systems and on and on

One of the more noticeable improvements you could make for your vehicle is to put a more aggressive gear ratio in it. Do you happen to know what the stock gearing is?

Intake, exhaust, and programming (chip) typically will not provide a huge improvement over stock. The associated sound will make you think you're going faster, but on BMW's as I'm sure you know the factory did a great job already.

Like James said, these certain modifications will be very minor gains. The best bang for a buck modification would be a performance LSD. Some of the BMW tuners such as Turner Motorsport or Korman Autoworks does offer custom LSD but these are U.S. companies which we recommend you locating a local tuner. Alpina, AC Schnitzer, and G-Power is located in Germany and may offer this type of modification.

i heard if u put a intake from a M50B25 and put in a M52B25 or in a M52B28 it will gain some power

will it do the same in a M54B22?
