And lets not go into engine work and tuning you could and probably will spend a small fortune there. 10k will probably get you a very nice twin turbo kit with tons of potential and a good tune with probably a little left over to help with a good exhaust and you have yourself a 3.7 liter monster. while over on the bmw side 10k and you will still quite possible be on the stock turbos maxed out.

for around $1500 you can get a 335i up 60whp. i can't see anything n/a for a G37 to even compare to that. for $1500..MAYBE you can get intake and exhaust and a reflash and net 15-18whp...but that's it. plus F/I options would range higher than $1500 for the VQ.

On the average if your a car guy 10k is about what most will dump into their car especailly when your dealing with the big motor cars as opposed to 1.6~2.0L fours.
