keep in mind, if you add horsepower, your suspension and braking will not be on par with your car's acceleration......

i don't think you can get a supercharger for $5k...... maybe used, but I doubt new (especially if you need to get it installed)

if i had 5k........ i would spend it on suspension and brakes, then for performance....... full exhaust, intake, chip......... etc etc

thats just me tho.....

For an M3 I doubt you'll get anything for 5k. But like said above, do your suspension work first. It's well worth doing.

ESS VT440 for $5900. It's a 440hp Vortech V2SQ based kit.

Save more money! Seriously, money spent for HP on anything less than an S/C is mostly a waste.

Give me a call. We have tons of things for your car. From Headers and exhuast, to KW suspensions and Brembo Brakes. And of course S/C kits

I would reccomend building your car up to reach an equalibrium of performance. I.E get some AA headers, AA exhaust, KW V2, and some form of braking upgrade.
