BMW Tuning

Prob not the right place to post this, but hey.
Gettin a new car in august and am torn between supra TwinTurbo and BMW 328is

Love the BM as they are hard as nails and parts are easily available.
So heres my question, Wat kinda power can be squeezed out of the 328, considering it has 190BHP standard??
(keepin it NA cause shitty insurance)

Colin - a Supra is so heavy it has it's own gravity and it influences the tide - I reckon you might need a brace of turbocharged busas on nitrous just to get it rolling

mhhh

BMW doesn't use turbo's

Supra does,

but turbo's are expensive

and to put them on the place where they need to be is also chit..

and what about the manifolds all hand made??

you will need twin turbo i think

it will cost you money

HP's will fly using a turbo Think 380Hp is possible in combination with some other tipical stuff.

Think that the M3 Csi already has 360Hp without a turbo (3,2liter i guess)

Cheers,

TKS

p.s. i think get an M3 or grab the Supra!

Colin the boot is tiny!! well shallow anyway.
Wud love an m3 but cant get insured
Supra does 20MPG when drivin easy!! And considering i do around 18000 miles a year, petrol money wud kill me.
I reckon i cud easily get 250+ normally aspirated from the BM.
But i really love supra's........ so i may change my mind
