Do 5 series owners really mod their cars? Those cars have the same powerplant as a 3 but with more creature comforts and added weight to pull. Real drivers and DIYers that own bimmers all drive manual 3s I thought. One of these will get an M3 instead of a 530i everyday of the week. Just my .02.

E90 is my first car I bought out of college and I hope to buy many more bimmers in the future.

Math...330i after options and all that jazz runs north of 40k. Turbo kit will run 8-10k, which brings cost to 50k for 300-350-400 rwhp.

2007 M3 with 400+ rwhp will run about 52k and have no delay.

200? 335i will run around 330 rwhp for 45k (?). Just me or is the market already being served by BMW by the time this kit will be ready?
