I have a 1997 BMW M3. i would prefer to spend around 8000 but will go up tp 10000. Specifically naturally asperated upgrades. also would like to maintain engine life. looking for 300+ HP. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was gonna say Active Autowerke's turbo kit which will give you everything you need to bring your M3 to 398hp. As for being naturally aspirated there are lots of good kits out there. Why not just get the European Spec S52 with 321hp right out of the box. the only downfall is that parts are a lot harder to find because its a european engine.

Use the 10k as a downpayment on an e46 M3 and get the whole package!

use the money to get either a euro engine or the e46 M3 engines

an e46 m3 engine runs for $17k

but the euro spec is probably ur best bet at gaining some hp
i saw one go on ebay with ~40k miles for a little under $5k, which is pretty damn good

but on the other hand, u should really consider AA's turbo kit, it would definitely put u into 0-60 in under 5 sec

Go with a Dinan Supercharger and an Active Autowerke Generation 3 Exhaust.

He wants N/A.

How much power does your M3 make at the engine right now?

why don't u go 3.2L obd1 conversion, u can gain 25hp right there. euro HFM schrick cams and 24lb injectors. also recommend to use JC performance chips.

you'll like it guarantee!

Recently sold a 01 E46 S54 motor with 6speed gearbox for $9,000 +s&h.

With a E36 M3 your options are endless...

BTW give Pat a call at Autothority at 323-703-6000
