I think everyone forgets these cars are new now. What happens in 5-6 years when the car is on the 2nd or 3rd owner, or even 8-10 years when its a "cash car" Then all of a sudden putting $2-3k into the motor isn't so bad, and I'd love to have a 3.2L stroked 128i for a track car in a few years when the prices come down.

50 more rwhp on NA engine without using FI is pretty good in my opinion. Plus, I am sure it is making the internals much stronger for higher revving profile.

seems like you'd get more power by adding a supercharger.
but I agree, when the price of these cars comes down and warranty isn't even a question anymore, i'm sure these upgrades would be worth it. |

Am I missing why just dumping an S54 in wouldn't be cheaper and make more sense and add more power, not to mention a better exhaust note, with the same displacement? I assume it would weigh more, but probably not that much more.

When we are talking about 15 large, there are a lot of options available...
Saying that, the whole point of this kit is staying with naturally aspirated engine which will give you around 300hp |

Choices... That being said that is still many years away and right now there is no way I would consider modifying my car's engine this way. |
