Maybe I'm not sure yet. As of right now it could be a daily drive. Even taking the car to work everyday ill probally only waste 40 miles a week

So awesome. I'm leaning towards this turbo kit (vs vortech carb legal supercharger) and this thread is certainly motivational.

Plus e92 there's barely any mods to upgrade beside exhaust and supercharge , thier exhaust run alone over 1k supercharge is about 10k which only gives you around 360-400whp and torque is still in the 200s.
Not true..I have a e92 m3 and they're ~350whp stock. There are exhaust options for well under $1k as well. The $10k+ superchargers run 5-600whp and just under 400wtq.

But regardless, I agree with the sentiment - I don't drive it because there's not much to mod/improve on.
