    Anyways, I drive an '89 325is (BLACK w/ TAN interior) and riding on Mille Miglia alloys (16")...with 205/45 kumho supra 712's.... and I am looking to get some performance mods done to the car such as and exhaust soon...and I would like to know if anyone knows any good sounding and power put out exhaust....
    Happy to join... later : :D :o

      lets see some pictures, i wonder who left the flyer on your car. Welcome!

      If you looking for power i'd look into a JimC Performance Chip, they help alot. As far as exhaust goes i personally thing stromung and brullen sound great on M20's.

        Hey, I'm the one who left the packet on your car. My little brother had practice so that's why I was out at the fields. Your car looked pretty good.

            Lower your car before you get an exhaust.

                  I thought i was going to be Jamie, given location. Good work, sounds like a cool new member.

                  You want power? Help me out other guys with a quick run down of mods:
                  JC chip (or MarkD) are GREAT upgrades - really feel the gain and good price.
                  M30 AFM + 19# injectors - good bang for buck performance gain
                  If you want exhaust, go 2.5" single pipe all the way out to a muffler of your choice. (I like dynamax super turbo)
                  Shorty headers would be cool too. Reasonably cheap.
                  An intake won't do much as far as HP, but it should be heatshielded. It will make the engine sound cooler though.

                  Um. Other notes:
                  Don't stroke the M20, it probably wouldn't be worth it to you.
                  A cam wouldn't do much on a stock displacement M20.
                  M50 swaps are good, said to be relatively easy, and not that expensive.
                  Turbo'eing the M20 is popular too.

                  Review:
                  Heatshielded cone -> M30 AFM -> 19# injectors -> Jim Conforti Chip -> Shorty headers -> 2.5" single piping -> Aftermarket muffler

                  other points: i wouldn't think a big bore TB would be worth it. and aftermarket spark plug wires I don't think do anything but look nice.

                      I think they were HT3's, but I could be wrong.

                            Phew.. the HT3 arent that bad looking, but aren't that great either...

                            I was just hoping you didn't have the nasty Spider wheel everyone with Millie's seems to have.

                              I thought you would be hoping he doesn't have the same wheels as you. (There is a 4door red 318i with them locally.....with a "M3" badge)
