Yea failure was wild for sure! As much as I like the S65 and have owned 2 prior E9X m3s with superchargers I decided to go wild with this one.

Ill post a build thread at some point but the car is getting a heads cam 5.3LS with a TR6060 on holley ECU with a bit single 7875 turbo. Shooting for 800 plus while keeping factory interior and exterior. Full sleeper.

Many thanks for updating this very interesting thread (including the "scary" photos showing the extent of damage!).

Really looking forwards to seeing that!
Won't a single turbo cause significant lag though?
