Also, do all of you get your parts from Dinan? I saw the brand thrown around a few times in the forum and was wondering. Has anyone got some advice for upgrading the 3.0i, because i've been told that I might as well just blow the engine up as is, because changing anything about it will diminsh the life of it heavily

The m54 is very stout. If it's tired refreshing it will bring it back to form.
Most of the Dinan stuff is no longer available from them. Anything short of NOS or FI is going to be wasting money performance wise. Just not much to be had from intake, exhaust, and programming unfortunately.

So how would I go about forced induction without doing damage to the block and cylinders? And would it be turbo or super?

I feel you would be very happy with a 4.8is.

I've driven 4.4 and the power level of 4.6 or 4.8 I'd be happy with. I HAVE (2) M54 E53. I'm very happy with the engine other than its short on torque.

Come on, you know you're not really wanting to get rid of yours are you?

And unless you drive really fast (and as our speed limit is 100kmh, I don't) it's the best of both worlds. But for real top-end speed.. the V8s have it in the bag, hands down.

I'm much more interested in torque v but the USA has shunned the diesel.
