this is the same when i got out of VW scene where people were buying axles left and right, then fuel systems, brakes, suspension, tranny, diff, then built motor..it never ends. $15k VW GTI became $60k sink hole. if you enjoy modding sure, spend it and enjoy it. if you want power only, just faster car to begin with.
just simple example:
500chp '07 M5 is $35k
400chp '08 335 with mods is $35k
in 5 years M5 will hold up better in value and reliability. sure, they are different cars, but you can take Z06 or E63amg or whatever you like that's faster.

+1 So true. I believe there is a point where one just has to look to a better platform if they want more power. To me personally, anything more than FBO + Meth with tune is too much money spent. It's one thing to put maybe 5K into a platform but some are putting about 20K+ To me that means it's time to get a better car. My 335is will see a COBB AP tune and that's it while I save up for something better in the future. Just MHO.
