My name is Sean and i'm 16 years old. Live in Pa, i cant drive yet but i get my lisence in december. theres a good chance i may get a used 2000 BMW 323i. It has the sport package with black exterior and black interior, 5 speed manual trany. If you guys could help me out with if this is a good car and how i can make it faster. I come from a family that has "a need for speed." My dad has had porches(gt3, carrera 911), BMW(m3, m5, 540i)and now he has a mercades E55 AMG. My brother has an m3 and lives out in arizona. I'm not a spoiled little rich kid either. I work hard for my money and will buying the car myself. During the summer i work as a carptner and during the school year i work at a sports store. So any help would be greatly apperciated.
Looking foward to getting to know everyone and their rides!
save up a little more and get a 325, at least. as much as I love my 2000 323Ci, it is slow as hell. or, even consider getting an e36 M3.

how reliable is it to supercharge? i dont wanna drop like 7 grand then have my car in the shop all the time. Also would it be better to go with danan upgrades?
supercharging shouldn't unduly reduce reliabilty as long as you properly reinforce the engine at the time of installation. as for Dinan upgrades, I know nothing about them, so I cannot accurately comment on that. personally, I favor parts from Hamann and other german tuners.

e36 m3 or e46 328 are both options with more power and torque than the 323 would give you and are in the same price range (well, a couple $thousand extra). Welcome.

sean: the bmw 6 cylinders (either 323, 325, 328 330) are very strong, and can take a supercharger. bavauto sells a nice one, but there are many available.
compared to lifting trucks, i have a 1984 fj60 landcruiser , this takes much more electronics and injector work. i could not pull off installing a charger myself, but:
check out the roundel (bmw club mag), there is a lot of contacts there to either do it for you, or advise.
hey thanks for the help everyone. It will be some time before i decide to supercharge it. I'm deff. getting the 323i though so i'll post some pictures when i can. Peterkulesza if you have pictures of your 1984 fj60 landcruiser i'd love to see them and i'll send you some of my works of art also.
hehehe, i will send you a private pix show (not to abuse the BMW repeat BMW forum), the truck is getting ambulane style ausie doors, and bunch of fender rust fixed.
