320d I presume?

It's a case of diminishing returns really - you can do all sorts of things, exhaust, induction, FMIC (probably?), water/meth, nitrous...

But you'll end up spending vast amounts of money for not a lot more bhp. Be happy with what you've got IMO.

What sort of power output does it have now?

Is it petrol or diesel?

On petrol cars an exhaust and air filter will give maybe 10-15bhp more. After that it's a lot of money spent on gas flowed heads and cams.

On diesel cars a remap is the cheapest way of getting good power gains, typically 30% increase in power and torque. After this it will get costly with hybrid turbos. Air filters and exhausts don't make a great deal of difference.

You would be better off saving your money and getting a E90 with a bigger engine imo. Either a 325, 330 or 335.

In my experience if you were thinking of getting a new exhaust or induction kit you should do that before a remap as a good remap will dial both in the car so it uses them properly which will increase bhp and torque.

Sounds like a classic case of "Buy a car with a bigger engine" to me.

Modding the '20d will just decrease reliability and lower resale values.
