Not challenging your conclusions of the drive of that particular 4.6 at all. Just saying when performing as it should it is a huge improvement over a stock 4.6. My view is the rest of what that comes with the Dinan supercharger kit is what is unique and unavailable. That justifies the sell price. To me 9 grand, even more is a great deal. I got estimates on doing a custom supercharger install. It was over $15,000 with at 4-6 weeks downtime. And the end result would be breaking new ground, so who knows what the performance and reliability would have been. The case was the same when I got quotes for twin turbos. I have Dinan exhaust and it is considerably louder but it is not resonator delete. There is considerable more roar with the Dinan airbox. Both the louder pipes and airbox roar made it initially seem like it wasn't that much faster until my mind could dial that out and confirmed 0-60 improvement. Having electric cutouts, I can confirm there is benefit from open exhaust on a boosted 4.6, but you are correct, that is not always the case depending on the application. Jay can confirm performance and reliability for a Dinan supercharged 4.6. Unfortunately, neither of us own one.

I figured as much. Just pulled the e46m out for the comparison since I've driven a bunch of them.
I'm sure the Dynan 4.6i is a fun beast for sure. Wish I could get one... even the one posted here. But unfortunately 5 Bimmers and 2 drivers is about 2 too many cars. LOL.

I guess the value of the car will be decided by the market. I appreciate all the stuff it has on it, it is just wrapped in the wrong package.

By the way - the car just popped up on CL again! I almost feel evil saying this, but I feel justified in my assessment of the car. To me, that means a few more people have seen it and either haven't been WOW'd by the car or have either made similar or lower offers than I did.

^^I agree with your assessment too. At 8k I think its more than fair, even though its had 2 owners who have "cared for it" its whole life, along the way, perhaps when current owners wife starting driving it a few years ago, life got in the way, kids sports, etc, and the car started getting neglected.
Seems the current owner is more interested in just making sure the car drives from point A to point B and less concerned about keeping an extremely rare example in great condition for the long haul. If I bought the vehicle I'd expect at least 5k in repairs and fixes off the bat. Probably closer to 6-7 considering the unknown Dinan issues. Its a heck of a gamble for the right buyer but I really hope one of us purchases it and restores it to its glory.

However, in more recent times the car has been neglected and it may actually be nothing to do with him personally. Body work on the car alone will run around $2K or more if done right. Then, there is the suspension (Seller is providing bushings). Then you have the DINAN stuff to look into. Again - maybe it's my inexperience on these kind of upgrades, but I stand my butt dyno assessment After that, there are the other little things to address - you are up there in restoration costs.
