Hi I have a 1994 325is BMW (of course..) i bought my car from this guy who bought it from someone else who installed a racing suspension and then the guy i bought it from added a coldair intake and aftermarket headlights. the only modification i added was a racing spec ECU chip. now from here i want my car to be upgraded like no other! bassically i want my car to sound like a volcano erupting :) . what should i go with such as an exhaust kit and other things. where can i find a good exhaust? i want to add a cam shaft also. so same as the last question. where can i find a good cam?. would 17'' rims be good to go with or smaller or larger? i am at some point going to try and hopefully get sponsored what sponsors should i go with? from what know parts are hard to find. please help me out.

thanks

Dude, he has the right ideas, just isn' sure how to go about them yet. Give him a chance.

Modit,
Aside from the volcano erupting, you're on the right track. Do you really want the ricey sound? Hope not...What exactly do you mean by that anyway?

Anyway, as far as catbacks, most of them will get the job done just fine.
The M3 is always a tried n true option, but its heavy as hell.
Remus is supposedly pretty good. I've heard some about Borla and Supersprint as well, but don't know for sure the quality there.
Pretty much any performance store online will carry catbacks, check around places like bavauto.com, turnermotorsports.com, and the Sponsors section of the forum.

Upgraded cams are a common mod, good call going for them. Same answer as the catbacks.

17" are the optimum blend of style, comfort, and performance. Absolutely go with 17".

You won't get sponsored till you've dropped quite a bit of money on your car and have proven you can somewhat drive the car. Start by joining BMWCCA, SCCA, w/e, and gather info from there, and prove your skills.

Do you know the brand of any of the stuff that was installed?

ok i'm not sure what u meant by ricey sound but what i mean is way more of a scary as all hell roar! (then people will run and scream) i want people to **** them selves when i drive by and want them to stair like they just saw more than just a ghost. :) lol i am actually in the process of getting sponsored with carsponsors.com i just need a little more money. what are some good brands to go with? is ebay a good source to look for parts? (i think it sucks because there is like nothing.) i want a really good cam but still in a good price range and still give me what i want.

for what your looking for...i dont think ebay will be much of an asset. try Bavauto.com..but remember, you bought a BMW, parts are gonna be a little hard on the wallet. especially to do what i think your wanting to do.
