325 ci performance

07335-06325 · 06-16-2007, 10:35 PM

I know this doesnt belong here, but i am tired of searching the internet already. I am looking for a turbo or supercharger kit for a 2006 BMW 325 ci. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Rick

Look up "335i." Sorry...I had to do it.

btw -- don't you already drive a 335i (that's what your avatar says)?

Sell your car and buy an E46 M3 or a 335, its not worth the aggravation, time, and money to turbo your existing car. I have been there and done that when it comes to turning NA cars into turbo cars and I would never do it again. It is a never ending headache, and honestly the 2.5L isn't the best platform to really start off of either IMO. With the money that you were going to put into that, I would just upgrade to another bimmer, its not like that car has the potential to put out much more then a stock M3 or 335. Just my opinion though.

When i joined this site, my intentions were to buy a 335, but my wife bought me a 2006 M6 Convertible instead. We had the 325 before, and my wife likes it too much, so i decided to do something to make it fun to drive. Thanks for the smart ass comments too. I see "335".

Well, in all honesty, although we may have been a bit smartas$ with our responses, BoostedBMW and I are correct...it's really not worth it to boost a 325i. Your best best is to either get an '08 E92 M3 or the 335i (and add the PROcede to get as fast as your M6

). Seriously.

I didn't mean to come off as a smart ass, I was just giving you some advice.

If your wife bought you an M6 vert, I'm sure as well she can afford to trade in her 325 for a new 335. She won't regret it. Turbocharging a 325 is the wrong way nevertheless.

Maybe i took it as a smartass answer, i'm sorry. My wife and i are looking at getting the new M3 when it comes out. i love the new design. My wife just loves the 325 for some reason, i dont get it. We can literally buy whatever we want and she wants to keep that car. I dont get it, oh wait, i'm not a woman. lol. I'll take your advice and not use FI on the 325. Thanks

That is still the E46, correct? VF engineering is developing a Stage 1 and 2 supercharger kit for the M54-B25. They list it for 04-05, but it should cover 06 since the 06 should have still used the Siemens MS45.0 DME. I believe the engine compartment configurement was the same too.

I don't recall of any other kits being developed as of right now. It looks like their kit for the MS43.0 DME gained roughly 100 hp and 50 lb feet of torque for a 6 psi kit.

Thanks alot for that link.

I should look into that. Or maybe just get an 6AT 335i E90.

07335-06325 · 06-20-2007, 04:59 AM

Is there an exact release date for the new M3? I heard it was sometime this fall.
