Okay, i basically want a bit more peformance from my series 3 16v , mainly more torque and better acceleration. I have a K&N panel filter, and im soon putting on an exhaust set up from the catalyst back. Besides this, what else can i do? I dont want to go forced induction, but what other things can give power gains? Any advice? thanks

Hi Errol,
You could go for a chip from Autodelta or Squadra chips (though I'm not sure it's worth it), You can fit some colombi&bariani camshafts, larger valves, lightened crankshaft, forged pistons, the works  (but that ought to cost a lot  )
You can check some of this kind of stuff here

All the best

How much of a performance improvement would a panel filter, without uprated exhaust, make to the 16V?

Minimal if any. Best thing about the washable filters are that they are washable.

So uprating the exhaust with the better filter already there WOULD make a difference?
