It might be good idea to take it offline.

IMHO, there are only 2 routes to zheng 320 for serious power

1. arma supercharger for n46
2. sell and get a used 325 (at least) + powerbox (for ecu optimization and improve throttle lag)

One more way i.e transplant the latest upcoming 4 potter turbo engine!

Slated for 2012 but I believe it will be launched end 2011 or early 2012
Forget about your current plan and save the $$ and buy the new F30 with the Turbo engine.

Most likely to replace N52 325 rather than 320. So, it will not be price @ 320.

Why do people buy a 320 and want to transplant a more powerful engine? Why not buy 325, 335 from the outset?

I 1 2 buy 320 & transplant N45B20s.

This will be more reasonable provided you can find. Less modification to the engine bay compared to the 6-potters.

Re: e90 320i 2005 engine

not much difference especially for spore driving pattern.

320i (N46B20):
150bhp@6200 min-1 / 200Nm@3600 min-1
Topspeed in km/h 220
Acceleration 0 - 100 km/h in sec 9,0
Elasticity 80 - 120 km/h (in IV) in sec 9,1

320si (N45B20):
173bhp@7000 min-1 / 200Nm@4250 min-1
Topspeed in km/h 225
Acceleration 0 - 100 km/h in sec 8,8
Elasticity 80 - 120 km/h (in IV) in sec 8,2

Transplant engine cheaper and less road tax to pay ?
