^pretty much this^
The amount of money you would spend on mods to gain say 10hp you may aswell add 900cc, i did it about 3 years ago.

And im still using it today, perfect combo imo.

The engine is very similar to the e30 318is lump. Although they can be tuned, it takes serious work and won't be cheap. Quickest and easiest way to a decent power gain is, as has been said, an engine swap.
Exhausts and induction kits will make it sound beefier, but will only add a handfull of bhp if you're lucky.
