In fact due to the boost it would feel somewhat better and more responsive

The reason why no one has done it still a stated here and elsewhere is the ecu sucks ass to tune.
Has nothing to do with the ECU. THe new m5 and all the n55 engines have valvetronic, double vanos and even more complex direct inject and tuners have been tuning all of these for sometime. Nothing special or hard about the n52 at this point. It is no market, not a hard ecu to tune.

AA is NOT working on one either so who ever told you that rumor is way off base.

Go for the m3 boys and girls
Find me ONE single person who has modified their n52 beyond stock and not put in a motec. I challenge you.

M3 where i am is $90k used, a 135/335 is $55k+... But an n52 based car is $25-30
