very expensive but i guess its a pug and play ready to rock kit. then again most people that are turboing e46 m3’s usually have deep pockets to begin with

Price wise…it’s reasonable compared to the gains for these cars. S/C kits are pretty expensive as well. A stage 3 S/C Kit for an e46 ///M3 can cost around $11K and that only gets you an extra 150hp. The kit that i got for my car sells for $7K and adds about 120hp.
The biggest problem with boosting bimmers is the programming. It has taken 6 years for a kit to come out with reasonable engine management for a turbo.

pricing didnt seem to bad to me. 3300 for the kit, the stage kits dont seem too bad as long as thats not a build on price. like you need the $3300 kit plus another 6700 to have a stg 5 kit.
