Also before I spend the money on all of these things, are there any known issues with the things I have listed here ? Cheaper or better alternatives ? Let me know. I'm hoping to eventually achieve at least 300hp in my 95 525i automatic.... we'll see what happens.
You've already got a cold air intake - an aftermarket one might not buy you anything. Everything else sounds good to me, but I'd do the EAT chip before the exhaust. I'd get one of those dashboard dyno's like Micha was selling to see what the gains actually are.

To get to 300hp will be tough with a 525. Even a turbo'd 535 ala Craig/TCD Turbo "only" gets 282 (RWHP).
