Hey everyone. This is my first post here so be gentle! 
I currently am in the long heartbreaking process of putting an M50 engine into my BMW E30, and as many of you know, the Non-Vanos (early) model of this engine doesn't exactly have too many modification options.
The engine is bone stock aside from a set of 2" Super Sprint headers to a 2.25" Magnaflow muffler.
Does anyone in here have any ideas on how to possibly squeeze another 30-50 horsepower out of this engine before I begin a turbo build? My goal is only about 200 horsepower while I'm still naturally aspirated.
Anyone have any clue on the cheapest and easiest route to achieve that?
I'm not looking to stroke/bore the engine at all as it is a daily driver, and would need to keep all modifications to a day or two process.
Thanks a ton guys!
