Yes, I can imagine.

I really want to get something closer to 290.....euro spec n52 vs us spec n52 ?

Honestly this AC Schnitzer is horrible.
Too many things. Some parts isolated look cool but all together that's way too much IMO.
How to turn a nice car into a kinda christmas tree.

I really don't like what they do. It's what I'd call "bad taste", simply.

Take a look at that :

How could it be worse?

I don't think dealers sell them in this variant (but some tuners might have access to that).
It's stock engine with very minor ECU map optimization (higher revs up to 7500 RPM) to accomodate replaced intake and straight tube exhaust system.
Most of European BMW tuners offered to do it, so I think it's not big problem.
I tried manual 130i (hatchback) before, so I exactly wished similar engine capability with coupe and automatic transmission. It does easy below 6.0 s 0-100 km/h and goes slightly better with traction control off. Engine revs very smoothly and has lot of power in 5000-7000 range. Bastuck develops excellent sound and attracts lot of attention among street racers, although I don't drive like crazy (just imagine their faces when 6' tall blonde exits the car )
Exhaust, intake and ECU works costed something like 2200 Eur (3000 $) and factory upgrade on engine side was something like 1000 Eur (this is not option in price-list or by dealers, it was one of kind favor done by tuning company).
Car has full warranty and I would never touch anything else under hood.
Hope this helped.

That sounds like a dream come true for everyone here in North America! I bet if you were to showcase your car here, you'd definitely get the attention of everyone in the import scene

The expressions of all the guys when you exit the car will first be then haha
