For the money, all of those ideas will cost much more than the Kleemann Supercharger. You can't just take out one engine and put another one in, there are a lot more parts that have to be exchanged and fabricated.

An example:

A new M5 motor costs about $18,000. We are putting it into a customer's M3. It will cost at least $54,000 for the engine swap when complete.

What does he want? A super sleeper? Is it an older M3?

It's a brand new E46 M3 that is just sitting in his garage until he can get the M5 motor in it.
