My ignorance....

I know that they are many performance parts for 325i/ 330i/ 335i but wonders if bmw makes any performance parts for diesel cars....

I am looking at
- better exhaust
- performance steering wheel

And any other performance parts which may help.

Also, what is the difference b.w M3 brakes and 335i/ d brakes?
My car has same brakes as 335d brakes.

Thanks.

As far as I am aware, all the steering wheels are the same petrol or diesel. Unless there's something your coding knowledge knows? Which wheel are you looking at? The one with change lights? Surely that depends on rev counter as you can for it to non M cars and it works.

A quick look on eBay has found a performance exhaust for 318d and 320d E91

The BMW Performance silencer system not only gives your BMW a particularly characterful sound, it also reduces exhaust back pressure for better engine performance. The visible manifestation of these hidden qualities is the purist design of the chrome-plated stainless steel dual tailpipes. It is available for six-cylinder petrol engines as well as four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. All systems are individually developed for the specific requirements of different engine dimensions and perfectly matched to the corresponding characteristics.

Im sure diesels require no back pressure so does'nt make much of a difference, uve got a 320d and the orevious iwner had the 335 conversion done and its got a nice sound to it so imaging on a 6 cylinder would sound even better

take a look at supersprint they have some useful exhaust bits namely the pipe which deletes the reasonator box which seems a totally unnecessary part and which on the 335d at least seems to sharpen throttle response
