[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 140465, member: 15"] There is not much after performance parts for the e36 318i engine, whether its M40 or M43. The M42 would be more drivable with its high revving characteristic and higher power output at 140hp compared to the M43's 116hp. Bolt-on that may improve the performance slightly is chip (about 10-12hp), performance cat back exhaust (5hp?) and K&N drop in filter (0-4hp). Cams will be too expensive and given the four pots negligible low end torque, that will be disastrous too. Next is forced induction..supercharging or turbocharging. Downing Atlanta has a kit for this engine, retails at USD 3395. HP will increase to above 200 with plenty of low end torque as well. This would be the best mod for this engine. Rgds [/QUOTE]
