I have a 1989 320i, and even though i love it, it feels a bit slow. I know most people say that it is easier just to fit a 325 engine but the engine i have has only run about 23k miles so i want to keep it in.

What are the best way to improve the M20B20 for power??

Easiest way is a different engine.

Failing that, a throttle body conversion and re-chip can allegedly liven them up.

A good service inc. professionally cleaned injectors will help no end to ensure it's delivering all 129 ponies.
