Hi ! What do you mean when you say "Engine-Software" ? You think about a chip-tuning to increase performance probably, or ? I was looking for chips for the 330´engine but only found a few companies which offer this. Normally the chips increase the power about 12 hk (lowest) to 29 hk (highest), but also a lot of companies offer chiptuning via the ODB (The diagnosis-plug, no "old fashioned" chiptuning with exchange of the chip), but i do´nt like that so much.

Go with the supercharger, the other mods won´t do you nothing but 20hp.

OK guys, you want to go Superchargers ? Here also a very welknown (at least in Germany *LOL*):

alright thanks for the info on superchargers and what not but i am not looking to go all out if i were i guess i would have bought an m3. i am talking about simple mods that will make my car a little faster.

Pullies, cold air intake, exhaust by supersprint is one of the best, and a throttle body by Dinan are the main small Hp boosters. But all of those combined will probably only give you about 30 hp at the crank which is only about 20 at the wheels. but if thats all you are looking for then thats what you should get if you can afford it, BMW tuners are really proud of their products, you can tell by the price tags!
Good luck

Short throw is definatly fun, but exaust sounds nice.

Intake and ECU upgrades (which includes ported and polished intake manifold and throttle body, and a custom cold air intake) good for 50bhp is now available through TurboWorks Engineering for $2,995.
