how do you figure civtegra? the higher the compression the lower boost you can "Safely" run...either blown or turbo...

Truest words posted yet.

If he had an M3 (although if you can't tell, you have no business in a car forum) he would have walked past you without even realizing you were trying to be a jackass and speed up.

E36 is all the 3 series (coupes and sedans) from 1991-1999 and the E46 represents the M3 from 2001-2006. The rest of the 3 series from 2001-2004 were E46 until 2005 with the E90. In 2007 supposedly the new E90 M3 is "rumored" to be released with at least 400hp. But the reason I was asking is because the old E36 was only pushing about 240hp in the US version (321hp in Europe) and the E46 comes with 333hp. This would clarify more what M3 he is claiming he beat.

A super would be better... after all there are s/c's available for the M3. Check this link out... ouch! The taxes on this kit is enough to give you a nose bleed! http://bavauto.com/shop.asp

theres a silver M3 here that I see at the track occasionaly, and with a custom turbo system, he consistently hits high tens.

You will seldom see a BMW with FI due to the fact that out of the factory, they are running nearly a 12:1 CR. Thus, in order to add a SC or TC, you have to build and tune the engine absolutely flawlessly, or lower the CR.

There are plenty BMWs with FI and they actually take boost quite well. I know a kid that has a similar car as mine (2.5L I6) with 225k miles. He put on a SC at 200k and is running 8psi of boost on stock high mileage motor and has no problems4. Or how about this M3 http://www.dtmpower.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110353. Also, I'm sure how well the GE toyota motors take boost even though they have a high compression
