I am not an engine expert (far from it) so curious to read your opinion on this.
It's not something I would do. I don't see why someone would buy this car instead of the 135i with the intent of then installing forced inducton. There also isn't enough data out there to know if the engine/drivetrain/trans can take it.

That being said, superchargers do retain a nice NA power delivery feel, and ESS is a pretty decent company.
