There are tons of aftermarket products available for the 325, and what do you mean "underpowered"? BMW's are known for performance and power, however you do lose some to the Awd aspect of it. The "iX" and now "Xi" models do well and are great cars where traction becomes an issue in the winters. For aftermarket parts look to some of our sponsors in the "Marketplace" section of this forum.

yes thank you fopr pointing me in the rite direction,,, and underpowered i mean what u said with teh awd and it seem to lack some pep for passing power thats all

It lacks a bit of low down grunt but once you are up to 2/3000 rpm then it pulls pretty well.

i was reading on powerchips.. they claim 10hp and 10tq gain and remap for 93 octane...500 dollars usa,, has any one hurd of them and are they good for a bmw

i'd get a 330xi.... the xi is incredible in snow--far better/smarter then my Jeeps. I have a 330xi for sale on here... buy it!

I'm going to get another one when I move out to California in a month... i'm thinking about a 3 series convertible.
