Hi everyone!

I have a 2004 BMW 330ci convertible, orient blue with a detachable hard top. Just took the top off yesterday as the weather here is finally warming up. I bought my e46 in Sept. of 2012 after my 2001 740il had a timing chain guide problem. My e46 has been a fantastic car and only has 55,000 miles on it. In in Sept of 2012 I bought it with 38,000 miles. I recently changed rear tires and put on new Baer de cela sport rotors that are slotted and cross drilled and matched them up with Akibono ceramic pads. I will be doing the same thing for the front pads soon. The new rear tires are purchase were Michelin Pilot S/3 255/35 zr . Great tire and really made a bigl difference. I wanted to question other owners about shock upgrades. I was thinking about Billstein either sport or adjustable shocks just to get my jollies. As far as engine upgrades I was looking at remapping the timing to squeeze another 15 j- 20 horse power. What other performance options have other drivers done to get more horsepower? Yeah, yeah a blower would be cool but that is way more money. I am looking to go a less expensive route at this time.



Best regards,
