If you don't want gobs of power then just doing the suspension, intake, exhaust, chip, ssk, would be pretty good.
You should start by reading. also check out other forums also like bimmerforums.com, they have lots and lots information, just find some threads and read.
Were kind of a small community here so if you have any problems that you can't answer by searching just post up!

Yes, I see what you mean. I guess I don稚 want to go extreme as to install a turbo/supercharger just yet. Maybe I値l start off small with just bolt ons and then if I decide later on in the future head with F/I. I値l go ahead and read up more on what I want to install. Thank you for your advice.

Thanks I didn't know that. Actually now that you mention it my muffler is deteriorating and I知 going to have to get a new muffler. Which do you recommend on purchasing?

Also make sure you get some time on the dyno with a shop that knows what they're doing. Good luck

Yes, I知 going to have to set a budget since I知 currently a student. I would still like to purchase some of the good stuff.
Thank you guys for all of your advice!
