It takes a lot of r&d (ie. money) to properly engineer a turbo system, supercharger kit or motor swap. If there werent a lot of ppl willing to buy these "crazy" mods, there wouldnt be this many shops catering exclusively to bmw. Dont kid yourself - there are lots of ppl out there willing to dumps loads of money into their bmw's.
A dozen supercharged cars here Forced Induced BMW M3 delivering powerful performance upgrades by BMW tuner, Active Autowerke 10 600+ hp cars right here.. Forced Induced BMW M3 delivering powerful performance upgrades by BMW tuner, Active Autowerke If you said to me there arent a lot of ppl willing to go crazy modding, I dunno, Kia's, then I would agree with you - there are no aftermarket parts or tuning houses for them. |

I thought this was about the new bmw's 1/4 mile time?? Oh-well.......
I think it's a turd as far as performance goes, style and looks are great and the interior is sweet. 13.5's for a turbo v-8 is sad even if it weighs *4000lbs. I say, if BMW could make an affordable N/A V8 that actually made TQ and made it's HP at lower rpm levels it would be a serious contender w/ a lot of the American N/A V8's. I will gladly pay less for a car here that has less leather or brushed metal trim but has more grunt under the hood and performance parts don't BMW ( break my wallet ).

Oh...my bad, I thought it was a turbo v8, for a v-6 w/ small turbo set up I guess that aint bad then.
GM has the new V6 that will be put into the cts caddy this coming year, it's N/A and makes a shade over 300hp and good TQ. too.
