Most people tuning BMWs tend to supercharge instead because it gives more direct acceleration.

Yes you can turbo your car and yes the e36 manifold will work. I am in the process of planning to turbo my car i just need to finish my other car first. If you have any more questions feel free to ask i will try to answer them for you.

Post in the forced induction forum.

Most people supercharge because that's what is available, not because it gives more direct acceleration.

^^Well said. Turbo is more difficult to get right but when you do there is NO replacement. Check out boostjunky.com .If you want to take the more popular supercharger route then go twin screw (ESS).

Just go in the forced induction forum and save yourself the hassle - there is actual information (GASP!!) there rather than just conjecture and hearsay.

Thread moved to FI forum. I would say that based on the questions you are asking you shouldn't try it....however if you are still committed this is a good thread to start -

If I was you id wait HPF said they will do a E46 Turbo kit, so yeah id wait it out. They finished the E46 M3 and the 3er will be a joke for them now. So yeah I will wait see what happens.
