That thread was interesting but I never saw an good answer on where one could actually get the ECU tuning done.

AA mentioned a while back that they were working on something for the Can-spec 323i but again, I haven't seen anything.

ive been searchin an searchin an im not really finding anything. even the bmw performance exhaust says its only available for the 328? theres gotta be something im missing because when i google 323 stuff i never find anything especially exhaust? im just lookin for abit more sound right now ill get into tunes later only had the car couple weeks

[eckert014]

also the bms powerbox thread doesnt even say it will fit the 323 just the 325 and 328 an so on?? wtf

Come on... the 323i E90 is clearly listed!

I have one on mine as well as a BMW performance exhaust. The engine feels definitely more alive and the engine note wouldn't be out of place in a M3. There are cheaper exhaust alternatives.

If by performance, you mean significant power gain, forget it.

i checked again the pbx says nothing about 323? and the bmwusa website only lists the 328....what are these alternatives??

In post #4, open the link;

There is a glitch; I don't think that the 323i E90 is available in Europe. But it sure is here!

I've got the pbx on my 323i for about almost year now.
You have to get it.

[eckert014]

thats my misunderstanding as well thought the 323i was only available here. the 325 is the european release of the 323 there i beleive. i do plan on getting the box but im still not having any luck with exhaust it seems every website i go into as soon as i put 2008 bmw it only comes up with 328's and above.. so frustrating i really want to get borla. i started looking for 325 as well because someone told me theyre exactly the same?? just tuning differences

You can either pay too much $$$ for BMW's OEM PE for the 323i, or find a good muffler fabricator who can do a nice stainless mandrel-bent system and a nice Magnaflow for less than the BMW piece. The Magnaflow will sound less 'farty' than the BMW PE.

oe tuning works with the 323i. I have received confirmation from OE tuning and a local shop here says they can do it too. Just find a shop locally that offers the tune if your in to it.
