There really aren't any...you might get is 10-15HP at most from a Dinan reflash, but that'd be with cold air intake throttle body and exhaust as well. Get a power pulley set and a drop-in K&N or AFE filter element and you'll notice some difference for not much money spent.

Don't worry about a tune unless you're in a 335i.

You guys are real helpful.

Try BMS Powerbox. I use it, and it's nice.

There is two tunes out there that you can get. BMS Power box and Gintani tune. I have the BMW Power Box which is suppose to give you 8-10 Hp and I love this tune it rocks. Gintani Tune which I'm looking at getting in a few months is suppose to give you 20-25 Hp. Craven would be the best person to ask about he Gintani Tune.

BMS pbx, Gintani and LET tunes. only one available if you dont live near LET or Gintani (or hip your ecu in) is the PBX. its about 270 Im pretty sure.

get an intake, exhaust, scoops, and some lighter rims, res delete, and the obx and you will love it... if you want to send your ecu in get the gintani
