<![CDATA[Active Autowerke Sport Header E46 325i Review]]>Hello,

Has anyone used the active autowerke header on their e46 325i?  Are there any other brands you would recommend?

What else would have to swap out to make it compatible? How much more would an M3 engine be?

I'm going to buy a e46 m3 when I move into a house with a bigger garage.  Also,  if I upgrade the current car, my wife doesn't care.  If I came home with a new car...I would be on the couch for a long long time.  Its a tough call because I have a lot into my 325 and when it was my DD I was rear ended and now the value is pretty low.  That's why I only track it now.

Thanks

It's going to be a pricey job if you're paying someone else to do it. Honestly, with what you'd spend doing this you could just sell and buy a 330. It'd be way more of an upgrade.

Thanks.  I get all my work done at Kummrow, so I'll talk to them and see if I would need any other parts to go with it.
