Well i've never done it, but hypothetically BMW's fuel injection can be drilled directly into the manifold above the cylinders, giving you about 100 extra hp. the main problem with the engine is that the fuel has too far to travel to get to the first and sixth cylinder, and the thrid and fourth cylinder burn incredibly rich. the i6's (which i have also) have the manifold as a part of the block, so it's impossible to put multi-carbs on it (which require a special manifold, unless you want to pull the whole engine and have the current one specially welded). Just check out a junkyard and pick the fuel injection off of an older BMW....it's the only real way to modify a 200. Personally i'm just going to put in a v8.....
