Hi, I have just joined today. I bought this car in January this year, and it's lovely, but I would like to increase the power. Originally rated at 260 hp, it's probably down to 200 by now. It's a 1988, with the M 117 engine. I was looking at a supercharger, but because it's got the mechanical fuel injection, it was suggested that I get a later M 119 engine, which I think has electronic fuel injection. This has 320 hp, 32 valves, but would it fit ? Or is there a better way to do this ?

Cheapest & easiest option is surely an overhaul/rebuild of the current engine to get those 60 bhp back?
