I wonder how much more sound and eventually performance I can get out of changing to performance exhaust and sports filter on my 2005 320i?

I bought the car for about 2,5 months ago. I love it! The only thing I can point my finger on is that I need more exhaust sound and a little performance tweak.
Have looked at some exhuast kits that is said to enhance the performance.

Any ideas around this?

Not worth it bud. Your engines way too small and your car's way too heavy.

But if you choose to disregard.. the things that worked well for me were (I have a 3L i6 and I'm still slowwwwww as all hell):


I'm bored and want something to do mods which I did:
Scoops
Muffler Delete (sounds just like the Performance Exhaust for less than $300 with tips)
Higher flow intake/AFE Stage 2
Charcoal Delete


Things that actually made a difference and made driving way more enjoyable:
Lighter wheels and Tyres (switched from RFT's to V12's)
A CDV Delete
BMW Performance Shortshift kit..
ATE superblue + Hawk pads

How much did all the parts cost? And where did you buy them from?

gahhh I don't even want to think about how much I paid for all of that stuff.. somewhere close to 5 grand I suppose. I bought them at various places online and in various locations local to me (speedtech, Maranello BMW etc.)

Most of the people on here have US market cars, and we dont get the 320i or 320d, you are better off with a european messageboard where there are going to be more users with 4-cylinder cars. I know there are quite a few bits out there as my friend that lives in Enland has a 320 saloon that gets up and goes pretty damn well with just a few mods (like exhaust, intake, and chip).

here is an example of other messagebords:
