Hey everyone, i own a 2000 bmw 323ci e46, its an automatic (i know i wanted manual but couldnt find) and its currently sitting at 211,xxxkms. The body is in perfect shape zero rust anywhere, trans is perfect not slipping,etc the motor is in pretty good shape except for a little oil leak (need valve cover gasket) i was wondering what woul be the better option for me. I currently daily my car but its soon to be a weekend only thing. Im hesitant to install a turbo/supercharge kit knowing what my kms are at and being an automatic what would be the best choice? Im not trying to give it a complete overhaul. Just eant something i can instal without having to upgrade everything in my bay. Looking for something around 7psi? Any opinions? Is it worth it? Again not looking for 500hp just a little step up
u owe my mule an apology
Consider selling and getting an e92 335i. You can probably get a 335 for what your car is worth plus what you would spend on a supercharger kit.
86 325es, 2.8L m50, S476sxe, ProEFI 128 ecu, e85, solid rear axle, TH400 trans, 28x10.5w slicks, zip ties, popsicle sticks, tape
best time 9.06 @ 151.8 mph, best 60 foot 1.30

This is sound advice here. That automatic won't handle the power long term, you'll need to upgrade the subframe, brakes, wheels/tires, etc, and you may or may not be at the performance of a 335.Originally Posted by someguy2800

Kinda funny you said that was looking at the e92/e93 unfortunately a little over my budget, also not alot selling for less than $12,000 with decent kms. Plus been inlove with the e46 bodys since i was a kid planning on having this car for a couple more years, thanks for the suggestion though

I was looking at getting the e92 now everyones making me want one lol. I know id dump the same amount of cash into the e92 as i would modding the e46 and it would be similar specs. starting to consider getting an e92. But that e46 body(
