[turbo4g63]

call bimmerworks, they can hook you up...www.bimmerworks.com they are a dealer with dinan

[drew]

i was just looking at stuff for the 323i since im planing on buying one, go dinan all the way if you can drop 1400 in an exhaust and 400 on an intake

[Gorilla Unit 33]

lol keith wants to make that thing fast?

[bastid]

I would avoid Dinan. Their claim to fame is the warranty, which doesn't exist if its an '00 car. They are generally way overpriced for the amount of power they give (or don't give). You might contact John Miller of millaracing.com. He's local to the Tri-State area and has connections for BMW/Porsche/Audi/etc. mods. Tell him Patrick sent you.

LMFAO i mine as well race him with the motor out of my car lol! tell him to boost it i doubt hes going to get over 300whp with just bolt ons all motor

[redg2]

i know man but hes not gonna pay for boost and new internals and **** i doubt taht

[upperguy]

you can do boost on a stock motor, with studs if you want the extra protection, but I am running 9lbs on my supercharged S52(98 M3) without any problems. He is going to be hurting for power on that car unless he has some cash to put down.

NA mods are going to be so unimpressive that you might as well tell him to hold off and save up for forced induction. That or trading the car in on an older M car or a model up. I only say that because the 323 wasn't hugely popular with power mods so they will be few and far between + $$$.

If he insists on it, go with exhaust and cams. Those would be the best bang for the buck.

[redg2]

i told em boost or sc woudl be best but he doest wanna put that muc money in it and he then say how bout NOS and i was like uhhh...lol hes car is also and auto...he just wants a lil more power i think

[TGilb2007]

For just some smaller power, then yea, cams, tune, and exhaust. Buddy of mine just got started on his project M3 (95), and so far, thats what he did for more power.

well if you do exhaust its just going to get louder with a small boost in power, plus auto cars with exhaust sound dookie:(. get him setup with an intake and a tune, it'll sound faster without being obnoxious and the tun will help throughout the powerband.

They don't deal with BMW's.
Audi's, VW"s, and Porsche's.

Mod's for a 323 are gonna be few. Forget the engine and tell him to do a wheel/suspension set-up.

And yes, skip the basic Dinan products. Their FI kits are put together well, but you pay for it. For more minor items,CAI/Exhausts, there are comprobable and less expensive manufacturers out there.

I could have sworn they did BMW also.

took the words right outta my mouth. Plus they are one of the larger sponsors for the Philly Region SCCA

[TGilb2007]

Nope, just look at the site. Dinan is usually the big name for the BMW crowd, but again, they are overpriced. Just look around on different BMw forums, see what people are buying.

[TROLL]

dont you ever, ever post a bmw question in off topic again.




edit: ^dry humor^ just for those who inevitably wont catch it. but seriously, if this doesn't belong in the 'bmw tech' section then what does?

well for some reason hes kina obsed in beating a 523 and i told em a intake and exhaust wouldnt do it but...he doesnt got the cash for FI

Okay if he is set on doing it it uses an M52 motor, which was rated at 170hp. The M52 was put into the 3-series from 96-2002 in a few incarnations. If it has vanos which I can't remember, You can get E36 M3 cams and put them in. This will give a decent boost on top of the intake and exhaust. I would also do the OBDI intake manifold which will give you almost as much of a kick as the cams would.

The intake manifold would be the least expensive next to the intake at about 200 for everything you need, the cams can be sourced used for a few 100 probably. The exhaust gets pricey but is available in the form of supersprint knockoffs for a decent price.

Good luck! The 523 and the 323 use the same motors and the 523 should be heavier btw...

I replied to your pm, but also give Bob at www.bimmerperformancestore.com a shout. Tell him Chris from glimmerglass sent you over :)

That is if you can overlook their Stage 1 S/C kit for the e46 M3 not coming with an intercooler :bigeek:

[themadhatter]

this thread makes me roffle.

if you have an '00 E46 323 and want more power, consider going for a diff upgrade at best. as dolphin mentioned, a suspension/tire upgrade would be a good step as well and lighter wheels/tires will provide a slight gain for you as well.

unfortunately, the M52B25TU has very few upgrades when it comes to motor work so you'll have to look elsewhere for upgrades.

[NOSZracr]

just so you guys know, someone told me that BMW has dropped Dinan. BMW is now gonna produce their owner performance parts. In the tristate area, only BMW of the Main Line will be the performance parts center.

not entirely true. bmw never had a deal with dinan. dinan has deals with individual dealerships and private shops but NEVER directly with bmw.

BMW Performance, as the lines being called, will be available from EVERY bmw dealership across the country. part numbers etc are already available via the TIS and will be available as soon as bmw makes the official unveiling.
