Take the E46 M3 for example. A lot of people are jumping into that platform for less that $20,000 and seem to be more apt to easily spending five figures for supercharger kits, wheels, and exhausts to build insane cars! So for all the aftermarket companies, I don't think it's ever too late to continue developing or improving upon their product line. I think this is just the beginning!

Evolve's M3 kit is beautifully designed and Sal has beaten the crap out of it on the dyno to wring out as much "area under the curve" as possible! This is an instance of where you get what you pay for really is the case... |

while this is true, most A/M parts do decrease in cost relative to model year depreciation as well. Here you have an expensive mod that is 1/3 value of the car in a used market. |

would this be the same complaint with other superchargers? (ie ess, gpower, active, vf) They are all similar in pricing I believe

Yes, but it's a horses for courses kind of thing. Not all modifications are done because they are financially advisable... If you love a car's styling, then putting money into it to make it competitive with more modern equivalents (or your buddies turbo E36...) then more power to you! There is an emotional part to modding... Besides, if guys didn't buy parts and then part them out, the classified section would fall apart!

What a nice list of goodies!
Great photo as well. I can't wait to see more of the intercooler and intake! I think there needs to be more "Carbon Fiber" in that list next time, haha.
