i have a 1999 bmw 328is with a cold air and a stage 2 dinan ecu update, what ive been wanting is more torque cuz my off the line acceleration is kinda weak, anyone know of a good way to do that without any major work? i havent been able to come up with too much
An ECU tuning is the only easy way to add torque to the engine. The only other options require either replacing engine internals or a supercharger.
But to get more torque to the rear wheels, you could add a higher ratio differential. This isn’t very expensive compared to the other options for increasing off the line torque and has very minimal drawbacks if you select the proper gearing ratio. Diffsonline is very reputable company who specializes in only differentials for BMWs. Give them a call if you don’t know what to get and they can guide you to the proper setup.
Good luck!

Maybe you could add a nitrous kit… or some lower gears

Since you’re in a heavy e36 and budget may not allow that new $8,000 twin turbo and exhaust alteration you might want to consider weight reduction. If you commit to it (and do it intelligently) you can create a noticeable increase in off the line performance, better handling and greater gas mileage.
