welcome aboard.

There's quite a lot of similarity that runs through the styling and modifications between the VW scene and BMW. i.e. OEM mods and keeping things simple and generally euro-stylee

If you click the evolve button up the top right you'll get into what used to be the zone shop :)

If you want to go faster, the sky is the limit as long as you have the trousers to match... do you want an engine swap, N/A, turbo or supercharger? Talk to ant at a-tech for all four options, look in the engine swap/FI section for real life examples.
