Then what? Turbo the S54? Those kits start at $15,000. So you're talking $22,000.. not $8,000.
Theoretically you could have a 400whp 330Ci for < $8,000, if you can source parts and do everything right.

I'd like to see someone get 400whp for < $8k. I bought my S/C kit, cams, and headers used and I am at 345 whp. I've paid $8k w/ install.
Then the S54 swap will be more than $8k. You can buy an M3 that comes with an LSD and all of the other goodies for about $8k more than a 330. When you do the math (s/c kit, cams, headers, LSD for 330Ci), the M3 is a cheaper alternative.
