Increase the power of your BMW 3-Series
Really hot tuning tips and advice.
Available in standard form with power of upto 301bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the 3-Series. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 331.1bhp to 511.7bhp but this depends on how deep your pockets are and how much fairy dust you want to use! You will almost certainly need to look at turbo or supercharger mods to get near that maximum power figure and your engines internals would need to be a fair bit stronger!
If you have a lower powered 3-Series your best bet for a mod would be an engine swap with the 301bhp 3-Series Saloon. BMW certainly know what they are doing when it comes to making a fun car and the more powerful 3-Seriess provide and excellent tuning base to work from. Your first engine modifications for your 3-Series should be an induction kit, sports exhaust and fuel boost valve.
The modification that gives the biggest power gain on your car would be a fast road cam. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.

But this sort of power requires some pretty heavy investment and a hell of a lot of engine work. .
