ok i been doin some reading and the most the 318is is goin to thro out is 8-9 bhp after a ecu remap,,, (just like what i was told in the shop) allways like to see it somewere else after i been told something  


"Performance Engine Software
Performance Engine Software unleashes more power by re-programming the fuel mixture and ignition timing parameters of the engine management system. Furthermore the software safely raises the rev-limit, giving your BMW a broader power band and greater road speed potential in each gear. Significant gains are also achieved at part throttle, making extra power available where you spend the bulk of the time driving. The top speed governor has also been eliminated, enabling the vehicle to achieve it's ''natural'' top speed."

Labor Hours 0.5

Price $299.00

Emission Status 50 State Emissions Legal

Maximum Horsepower Gain 8 @ 5500 rpm

Maximum Torque Gain 8 lb-ft @ 5500 rpm

ok so if i get the ecu done thats 8bhp and the strate thu exhaust 12bhp and my K&N air filter say adds about 5bhp if that, + a chip that clames to add 25-30bhp ... all that adds up to about 50-55 bhp am i right if i add that to the 140bhp i have, my car "should" be about 190-195bhp ???

someone plz tell me if am talkin s#!t lol ,

i realy dont have a clue about this but i would love to learn
