So why would you want to do that modification with an aftermarket company (no matter how good and how much warranty they provide) when you can get it "modified" from the factory.
I was hoping that someone caught the not-so-subtle point that the 330i is not just a chipped version of the 325. The multistage intake present on the 330 and not on the 325 would cost serious $$$ aftermarket to add onto the 325. Your point is right on.
