Honestly sounds like a waste of money to me. Get a sport bike for when you want to go fast and drive the Bimmer when you want to pack a bunch of girls in it

Schrick Camshafts WONT work on the n52 engine due to double vanos. I contacted the company and they said they have no plan on introducing any custom cams for our engine as we wont be able to get desired results.
N54 engine alone is around $6K,
Tranny around $2-3K
Turbos $1500 +-
Exhaust / Downpipe $1K
Intercooler $1K
Intake $500
Radiator $400
Harness $1K
Fuel lines/ECM/ and misc parts $2k
Labor $3-4K
so around $20K for the swap

Maybe this is worth looking into?
RD Sport Power System
It's definitely cheaper than the $10k for the stroker you mentioned above. Just a thought....

Ok, but what about stage 2?!?!?! HA, Just kidding Adam. Yeah, Vladdy, these things can probably be done for way less than that 10k. Sometimes it's good to get everything from one maker and sometimes it's easier to piece things together yourself. You already know an "off the shelf" tune won't work if you go this route, so you know you'll need a custom tune to get results.
