Heard acouple people talk about modding/tuning n52s to squeez 300hp

Is this true? I know Intake/Exhaust adds 5-10hp at best. I've also read about getting more HP out of the n52 with a tune, but haven't found anything concrete. If there is a tune to squeez some more HP out of the n52 does it decrease reliability much? I'm not looking for much more power out of my 128i. It's my daily driver, but I like to on occassion do some AutoX/Track outings. So I'd like to to get a little more power and perk up the powerband even more. Also get the performance suspension, but nothing extreme. Any info cause reading thru this forum seems to have alot of hearsay and inconclusive banter. Oh and please don't post "If you want more power go trade in your car for a 135i" typical response. I drove both the 135i and 128i before I made my purchase and honestly I liked the way the 128i handeld better and is a smoother daily driver.
