Welcome! BMW actually uses the factory block and heads for their racing cars (i.e. the ones they race on the Nurburgring, take the 320d for example). These engines are near bullet proof, but if you want to put 400hp into a 323, don't expect it to last 300,000 miles+ like most BMWS. And Dudesky, his car should be a 2.3L. I think.

No, it's a 2.5. I don't know why bmw did it, but they badged it as a 2.3 when it has the same 2.5 as the others, lol.

on stock internals your car should be able to handle 400hp from some sort of FI, I wouldn't go much higher than that. But with any sort of FI it really wont last as long.. But then you could go with forged pistons, etc and have an almost bulletproof setup ready for way more power!
