So yeah.

I agree with you. This happens to a lot of other cars. I just hate that the fact that we have to pay for all these overpriced items. We do so because we have no other choice. Take these superchargers for example. You can get a Vortec SC for many other cars for about $4000 +/ or $6000 + for the Corvette Z06. But because it is a BMW M3 we have to pay $12000 +. I understand that tuning/fabrication plays a part, but nonetheless, this is a pretty steep price.
The sad fact is that I will still do a lot of upgrades once I get back to the States regardless of the price. I ended up doing the same with my Shelby GT500 which I pushed to 816hp/715tq.
My plans are Brembo BBK, Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust, and ESS SC.
