2O?
OP: Anyways, it is your car, do what you want. I will say, however, that you might be facing a multitude of complications. Assuming you are using a dry system, expect very high wear on your HPFP. If your fuel pump starts to fade, your call will run very lean, burning pistons and spark plugs, not to mention complete loss of detonation and I do not think throwing that many unburnt hydrocarbons past your catalytic converter is a good thing.
Not to mention the fact that if you use too much you can grenade your engine. Nitrous-fed engines should be easy to spot by someone with a trained eye, which could lead to your warranty being voided and you paying out of pocket.
If you have 40-50k to blow for a new car, go ahead. It might be kinda nice to see some numbers on a sprayed car. However, there are much cheaper alternatives to getting safe power from your car that is available to you the entire time your car is on and you don't have to worry about making sure you have the right PSI in the bottle or remote bottle openers or running lines from your trunk to the pressure gauge to the engine, etc. On a turbo car I really do not see the point of running nitrous except so you can say, "I ran nitrous on a 135i."
