Buying a used M3 is about 220k$, so I personally would really love to get more power out of the N52. 
For the non-believers: one2car. com/BMW_SERIES%203/C20550214 -- Price is 4,490,000 THB which is 144,210.81 USD
Even e46 m3's from 2001 cost you at least 50k$ |
I made this point before. Superchargers are good for countries where import duties and taxes are insane such as Thailand and numerous other countries where import duties are 100%.
Nonetheless, if the tranny cant handle it, it is still pointless.
