2004 or 2005 E46 M3 with Supercharger or Turbo?

When I get my M3 in December, I will be looking for either turbos or superchargers. Which one is better for the e46, easier, and doesn't really cause any probs for the engine? Ive heard that its not possible to get a turbo on a e46. Is this true? Any comments and sites and products are welcome to be posted for the e46 PLZZ.

High Compression (11.5:1) E-46 M3 and Forced Induction (Supercharger or Turbo) that "doesn't really cause any probs for the engine?"

You are kidding right?

If you do this plan on investing alot of $$$ on fixing broken things. Actually buy a head gasket kit when you buy the Forced Induction kit. You will need it withing a few months, if you are truely lucky.

KEEP IT STOCK

i think the new E46 M3's bring a Multilayer steel headgasket

Should be good for forced induction, now the question is how about getting that compression down to somewhere more boost friendly.. lets say 9.0:1cr should be fine for maybe 500BHP, nothing out of this world if you have the money and the right team working for you.
