Wow, you don't see much turbo cars over 100,000 miles? You must be blind then, or a complete fool. Also, what about people that think 280whp is still to slow? What are you gonna do with your "fully tuned" N52? In order for it to reach what I would consider fun it would need an actual build with a very balanced rotating assembly and a reworked valve-train to support 8,000+ rpm. Not to mention at that point putting iron sleeves and turbo-charging it would make it even better anyways. You can drive a turbo car very fast at a track, as long as the turbo is properly sized and you have the appropriate rubber to maintain traction in WOT conditions. Build two track cars, a 128i, and a 135i, and max them out in every way for racing while keeping their respective induction types (natural vs forced), still retaining the factory frame and suspension pickup points, and I bet the 135i will win every time, drag or track. They will basically be the same but with the 135i accelerating much quicker.
