Got Boosted!

No one stole my car!!! I bought into the Esmeril turbo sale and went with the ball bering option. Should be arriving shortly and will be installed at a local shop. I kinda feel bad since I've done everything else to the car myself, but I don't like messing around with lines and electrical stuff.

BTW the 08' M3 is still amazing and will be my daily driver.....until the 8 bites it and I buy something Italian next time!!!

You should fit it yourself if you have the ability . Having someone else do it means it becomes a mechanical mystery for you and fault finding can become an expensive nightmare .

I would install it myself, but I no longer have access to a lift daily after work.

No the motor was replaced about 10k ago. Being a taller guy it would just make the install easier for me, for those under car items and stuff.
