Can you get more horsepower

[Beemer Dreamer]

Can you get more horsepower out of a 325i? Also I see the Dealerships are offering 1.9% financing. I wonder what the catch is?

1.9% is probubly only for dealer cars on the lot only that are 2004 model, to help move them since the 2005 are coming in.

Sure, free flow air intake...modified exaughst...change in chip management...I think somebody has a supercharger or turbo charger...AC Schitzner or somebody? I'm not sure, maybe only the 2.8 or 3.0 liter. Who knows.

Dinan sells a kit that boosts the hp from 184 to 195 on the 325. It concsits mostly of software plus a cold air intake kit and perhaps a muffler change ( not sure about that).As for the 1.9%, yes you can get that rate on a 2001 used cars (CPO)- at least you could a month ago which is how I bought mine.

If you don't have the car yet and you already want more power, I think it would be a good idea to take a closer look at the 330i.

But yes, the 325i has plenty of aftermarket options, the most cost-effective being air intake, exhaust, and chip.

Whoa, this was my 4,000th post....and I haven't been banned yet....good deal.

I'm near 3000 I think and it's even more amazing that I haven't been banned yet [80?]

There isn't much you can do to new 325i's. Older ones you could do a lot, like change cam profiles, but not any more.

You can increase your HP in any car, the question is how much do you want to spend?

I'm sure you've already seen this site, which includes the kit jbfog referenced...

I agree w/Mr. Elusive though, go 330i up front if you can...better engine, power seats, better wheels, better stereo, 6 speed manual vs. 5 speed...plus you'll never have that nagging feeling two years into ownership that you should have gotten the bigger engine.
