As far as intercoolers and such...
In general, I'd say, to make for the neatest solution, you remove and/or replumb the two existing turbos into three 2-cylinder-powers-1-turbine setup.
Another possibility-->keep the stock twin snails, but add a big "top end/afterburner/ohmygodimgonnadie" third turbo, for monstrous kick at high RPM. In this case, you'd still have to replumb the two existing turbos, I think.
This setup would be some sort of Frankenstein hybrid between a 335i-style twin turbo and a 335d twin turbo (big + small).
If you're going crazy, you might as well go two or three intercoolers, depending on if you're going with the three-equal turbos (three FMICs) or the giant plus two smalls (two FMICs).

i could lay the plumbing from the front, through the passenger side of the car and have a GINORMOUS monster truck turbo in the trunk lol It might help with weight distribution too ... maybe... lol
