yup. A downpipe and a tune is good for low 12s on the quarter mile

The only downside is you will have to set aside thousands when the bimmer breaks down.

Intakes (JoeZ, Takeda) and exhausts (meisterschaft, tanabe, invidia) will add a few HP, but nothing probably noticeable or usable. A couple a threads on this topic:
