    M52 328i Tuning Advise

    Hi Guys I'm currently after advise on the next best options for me to gain power from my 328 motor

    its currently got a Simota CAI
    M50 manifold running
    ECU Software to suit.

    What would be the next best route for me as i want to put a group of mods together then spend time on a dyno setting this up.

    i have heard about M3 camshafts and maybe headers?

    Cheers in advance.

    Also im UK based so getting hold of US Spec Camshafts may be an issue for me

    M3 camshafts or Schrick cams will be your vest bet. I wouldn't spend any money on tuning without the cams.

    That photo is of S50B32 headers, not S52. These are S52 headers:

    Thx jakermac...s50b32 is a whole different beast. And I'm 99 precent sure s50b32 headers won't fit m52/s52

    They won't bolt to the midpipe, but they do fit the head and the chassis. Just need a bit of fab work to connect to your exhaust.
