Ours is a 2010, it came with a supercharger from the factory. It has a small roots blower, V6. Quicker than the V8 it replaced, has more torque and feels a bit more responsive than the V8 one I drove. I haven't been tempted to pulley it, but I'll bet picking up power would be very simple.

Wife going back to school for a second degree, don't need the $65K toy.

it's a german car, they all cost that much. M3's are the same way. This is another reason I sold mine and came back to the domestic, I know I'll mod my cars, might as well have the cheaper car to mod

i know the german cars are pricey, but i didn't think they were that high. ive worked on a few A4's but they seemed reasonably priced for what it was. oh well i guess i'll stick to the cars i know and can afford.
