i have a full stailess system and tubular manifold for and m40 316i/318i, standardn manifolds are quite restriced so it would give you a bit more power
do you have an m40 or m10 engine??
BBR could get upto 140hp out of them easily but it cost a few G, not realy worth it though

You're wasting your money to be honest.
E30Zone chip for Ԛ£55 reportedly makes it more responsive but I wouldn't spend any other money chasing a few horsepower.
I have a 316i and 318i and apart from probably a Zone chip in the future, I thought it best to not spend any money on it and save the pennies towards engine swap/insurance for it in a year or two.
I'm assuming you're a younger driver.
Just my 2p.
Daz, 316i is M40 only. Only M10 injection engine you can get in an E30 is the early 318i.
