How are you? Yes, M54 3.0 lt. engine was the most balanced between power-torque/consumption and continues, with the even more powerful N52 in the newer models.
Supercharger prices are starting from 3500 Euros and goes up to 10K or more depends on the brand and stage.
I hope that at our next meeting, you will have some more free time to spend with us
We can discuss with the other members, about a new one for 2007
I already missed Germany

Gearbox is the same part number (6manual) ECU also, so it can be flashed to 3.0 L The different parts are clutch and differential.

Are you really doing it?I think the engine itself is actually powerful enough.No need for supercharger.Otherwise why not go for the 4.4 engine 
Anyways make sure you get the 258hp 3.0 litre engine
