Wow - with those numbers, and a couple hundred pounds weight advantage, it should be quicker than the M5!!

i think it would run out of steam at higher speeds + heat and stuff.
As you can see it already features an intercooler...and superchargers don't really bring that much heat like turbos, do they?
Anyway...interesting alternative.
Although AN M is always an M period imho. Not B5 not supercharge E60, M.

Actually, the heat comment probably referred to the extra heat the engine will produce making that much horsepower. Yes, turbos create heat, but adding a bunch of horsepower to an engine means burning more fuel which equals more heat to contend with.
