headers/midpipes/muffler (preferably all with a cat delete ) should get 10% pretty easily alone
5% tune
5% intake

all roughly...

pity cams/turbo kits/aftermarket forged pistons were never developed for these engines

this is on a 130i, too which is 265hp stock (gets 240-250 to the wheels approx, stock) and i believe... considering the 128i is 230hp... well a simple tune (and intake swap i believe?) will get you +50hp.

supercharger kit if you want +100-150whp at least? :P

so considering 180rwkw from 195 at the fly (super impressive!).. 93% efficiency means 200rwkw you only need 216.6 at the fly, so yeah tune/full exhaust/intake will easily do it for you.

supercharger is apparently 330-350hp atw everything else stock on the lower powered USDM N52B30's... so that's 260kw atw :P. i'd imagine somewhat more available witha 2.75-3" catless exhaust..
