A supercharger system for your car will give you 256hp to the wheels, but cost 6k lol. You might want to look in to that actually, it comes with front mount intercooler, front mount oil cooler (SC has it's own oil supply.) Everything else you need for totally reliable system. www.aatuning.com custom systems on BMWs = blown engines

Re: In the market for a new car.
I would look at as far as a nice, quick luxury car would be the G35 or TL. But a BMW isn't a bad choice, it's just they're expensive. STi is def. a bad ass car but you have to like and live with the interior as well. Besides, that is where you spend the most time. That is one hell of a deal 10K? That car must be worth over 20k.

It's not a crappy aspect of the car, you could say the money you spent on the car paid for the already highly tuned performance it came with (engine, induction, exhaust, etc..)
