umm LMAO... do you have any idea how many people get rid of their BM's to get EVO's lol and yes that certainly does include M3's...

Now... what exactly about the M3 do you like? Evo handles better... Looks better IMO (M3 is the most standard looking sports coupe ever...) so unless you wanna impress your BMW fanboy friends ... stay w/ the evo ... spend the extra $$ on it... and smoke M3's all day long in a line or in a track....

Not to mention... you are gonna take one of the least reliable cars w/out a warranty... and TURBO it lol... either you just dont care... of you have an *** load of $$.... which is it?

E46 M3's have very close tolerances on the motors. Be very careful when applying boost to it or it will boom real quick.

^^Granted tho... if you're gonna go turbo, anything can be ahchieved if done right and with deep pockets.... HPF seems to have done their homework on Boosting Bimmers.

If that's what you want then just do it.

But the question that have are, "Why would you want to do that?"

ummm are you gonna make this kit yourself, make some tuning software yourself. cause im pretty sure nobody makes this, and if a company decides to make a kit it will probably be over 13 grand.
