ECU and PULLEY Kit UPGRADE?
Hey Fellas, I have a 02 320 w208 stock to the bone engine. How much more RWHP can I expect from an ECU AND PULLEY KIT UPGRADE? Which Company? Costs? Will that damage/shorten the lifespan of my engine or tranny? What are your thoughts. What other upgrades can I consider?

You're really not going to expect much, if any improvements from doing that on a 320. You'd be better off saving your money. Just my opinion but I would think that's the consensus.

haters crazy
Pulley and ECu are usually done on forced induction cars where you can realize more of a gain. If you want a little power go ahead and do it. The only pulley's i know that are available are evosport and there are plenty of ECU companies to choose from

So my best bet, it seems like, is to just stick to my "CRUISE MOBILE". Well, it's not a bad cruise mobile. I'll get out of the way when I see one of you AMG boys coming up from behind. I know my limitations.

if ever i saw it. Compared the AMGs the 320 is slow, but thats a pretty high bar dont you think? Its not too bad performance wise when you compare it to most of the cars on the road, 6.8 sec 0-60 isnt bad, esp for a 7 year old car.
Evosport quoted me 7 hp for the pulleys at the wheels. It feels about like that (translation, rarely feel a difference). But it does feel alot stronger in low gears, around 5-45 mph. I think its an underrated mod because it carries no sound or aesthetic improvement.
