They truely built this car for the enthusiast since they dont have runflat tires, ONLY comes in 6-speed manual form, Xenon HIDs come standard, hydrolic power steering (why they didnt keep electric is beyond me though) blah blah blah
Other than that, either a MkIII or MkIV Supra with around 450RWHP, manual, A/C, excellent quality supporting mods, etc.
No M cars come with run flats if I'm not mistaken
As far as boosting the S54 motor goes, good luck. You'll have to be quite the hacker and engineer to pull it off -- right now there are no turbo kits for the S54 and I don't believe I have ever heard of someone successfully turbo charging one. The hardware for it is done, but the software isn't complete yet. Supercharging, you can get a stage 1 kit from activeautowerke in Miami for about 10k. They don't have their stage III kit available yet and may never sell it, only a few people have it and are pushing 500whp.
Also, as I understand it one of BMW's most enthusiast-oriented cars, the M3 CSL, only came with an SMG transmission.
