Still up in the air what vehicle I'm getting(BMW of course, but finding what I'm looking for is getting hard).

I found a 98 323IS with low milage(70k), black on black with manual 5-speed.

I know this car is in the low HP numbers correct? (aprox 168hp yeah?)

Now i'm curious as to what you can do to get the HP number up there.

I was on www.mmoterwerks.com and looked at a few little "add ons" such as Shark Injector, Upgraded Pulleys, Intake, Eurosport manifold upgrade, Exhaust.

Just curious as to if the shark injector is a better way to go then the Dinan Software.

According to that site, and i'm rather sure they "up" it a bit I could pull of nearly a 30-40hp gain with those parts.. is this true or just wishful thinking?

I know it'll never be an M3, but at least buying this car I can have peace of mind and something fun to take up my time :)
