whoa. that'll be the dream setup for forced induction fanatics.
I wonder how they are going to manage all the heat, and get enough space in the engine bay for both SC and turbo. Not to mention all that weight that will be added in the engine bay.
Just imagine that setup in our E90(say they have "switches" for it). Turn both off, theres your good daily driver E90. Flip a switch, theres your autocross/track ready E90. Flip a different switch, theres your drag racer E90. Turn on both, there goes your............. forget the 335-TT.
