Obviously there is more to the E9x M3 than just engine but as a project car building my beloved and small 1er into a E46 M3-like NA experience would be fun just uncertain of the results. I like smaller sized cars than the E9x platform but for my daily driver I worry that the interior and related tech of the E46 M3 plus general age is a bit much for me.
First world problems.

For the 128i there's a NA option that nets you around 300hp, not bad at all. Headers, intake plenum, tune
The ESS supercharger is also a good option. ESS anything, it's just hard to go wrong
