Tweaking 328i coupe

I have heard that the German spec. 328I engines produce more power than the UK version.
I have had a look in the technical forum but can't find the info to hand. If anyone knows more, or better still, has done this, then any information would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks in advance

	I doubt that the german 328 produces more power than the UK version since the power output of the 2.8 engine was limited to keep it in a certain tax bracket in Germany. However the power of this engine can be quite easily increased for relatively little outrlay by fitting a modified manifold, based on the earlier 325 one, and a larger throttle body.
