chriszzz 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Hey Guys, My 2001 E46 320i (2.2L) is arriving from japan in about 3 weeks, was wondering if it is possible to chip it to get more performance, also would exhaust/intake be worth doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted October 6, 2009 And far from simple Thrash that tiptronic option all you can is your best bet! The 320's are not really a performance sedan unfortunately - just a comfy cruiser Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 Only on Turbo cars, its not economical on N/A cars unless its there to compliment or tune for other mods . Took the Astra from 147kw to 170, 260nm to 310nm. I could liberate 30 odd KW and 50NM in the Megane if I wanted too but im still happy with the speed at the moment.

Yea as I thought, would probably do more damage than good to my car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted October 8, 2009 Wouldn’t do any damage, they are simply taking your engine to within 5% of what it can do. With a intake and de-cat a remap would yield some good results on your car, would think 20hp. ST240 has a nice ring to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
