Is there a mod you can do to the dasc? or just the motor?? Im thinking into buying the DASC now if i could find out for 2,000- I think we should all gather money for 6 months, and make a group buy on dasc. | | | 12-23-2005, 02:48 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I think a DASC brings it up to almost 190hp. If you buy a used one be sure it has all the parts. For anything more you should do a conversion. The dyno chart has already been posted. I think it is a bit optimistic. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-23-2005, 02:50 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti I think a DASC brings it up to almost 190hp.

DASC is the biggest bang for the buck. It's easier than a swap. An S52 is 240hp stock. From there you can add cams, chip, supercharger or turbo. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-23-2005, 11:52 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Malden, MA Posts: 672 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti Personally, neither.

Sometimes at the trackI wish I had more hp, but for the street it is more than enough. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-24-2005, 11:54 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Malden, MA Posts: 672 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti I have no regrets epecially that I bought it that way.

I bet that 2.8 feels alot better than the M44 | | | 12-25-2005, 01:53 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1rstbmw!

If I had money I'd get a 95 Club Sport and a Euro S50. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-25-2005, 05:00 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Melbourne, Fl/Athens, AL Posts: 393 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996Bmw318TI Think i should go DASC or M3 swap | Just a thought, but maybe you should try saving some money for your future. I can understand modding your car, and I guess I can kind-of understand getting the lambo doors, even if it's a big waste of money. But you're what, 17? Should'nt you try to save up some money instead of blowing it all? Do you plan on going to college or anything? | | | 12-25-2005, 05:26 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 411 | Quote: Originally Posted by Variance Just a thought, but maybe you should try saving some money for your future.
