I have a E46 328i and when i got the shark injector the BUTT DYNO said..... **Drum roll**.....5 HP

BUT! You'll enjoy the removed topspeed and increased RPM more than the 5 HP! It's worth it!

if its your car in your avatar then you should derinetly buy some new rims because puting chrome rims on a BMW and especialy E46 is just wrong buy some BBS or something

I think 50HP is way to much gain on a N/A car. Chip wise I went with the Shark Injector, it's not a chip replacement but a flash.

Start with the basic first Chip, intake, pulley, exhaust and performance ignitions.

Then look into maximizing those gain power to the wheel with mods like LTW Flywheel and LSD

Oh yeah I bought a 3.46 LSD, I called it the "going sideway mod" It's pretty sick.
I got mine from Dan from diffsonline.com - Custom Geared BMW LSD Differentials
Great guy and easy to talk too, I went to him while modding my car when I was up in the North East.

JHaines12 - Get suspensions, I notice a gap with those wheels. It will make it look better and handles better in the process.
