Hello buds I wanna upgrade my car with some new parts increasing my horsepower on my 1989 BMW 325i. I got 400 dollars to spend, what would some of y'all spend it on ?
Someone help me spend my money

I always like to do suspension. I think it's a more "fun" investment than power mods. If you're set on horsepower, exhaust is the mod to do.'84 318i M10B18 147- Safari Beige

There's not much to do. Possibly a chip, or go for a MAF conversion.Comment

I did injectors, MarkD chip (93 octane), and cat delete, noticed quite a bit of difference on my butt dyno. I would throw out a rough guess of 20 to 30 hp. I have yet to put it on a real dyno.90 325i DD/Track

Unless you've got some mods to help the motor breathe better (i.e. K&N filter, big bore throttle body, cam, headers, etc...) you're not going to get 20+hp out of an M20 with just a tune and a cat delete. 10-15hp maybe....Comment

Refurbished AFM could revive your car like it was brand new. New injectors would be nice. Gutenparts.comOwner - Bavarian Restoration
