What's the most expensive aftermarket part for your car?

Excluding real dry carbon body panels and engine swaps because that’s not fair.

For my Si, a CT Supercharger ranges anywhere between $3400-$3750 and is to my knowledge, the most expensive thing I can buy for my car. While I’d LOVE to have a supercharged Civic (builds push 300 hp to the wheels), I can think of millions of other things I should spend $3k on.

Probably cheating, but $16k “power kit”.

There’s a guy in Belgium who is making fiberglass 222D replica body kits. It’s a hair under 4,000 Euro.

I have an E39. Pick any part on the car and that’s your answer. It’s hard to nail down any single one as most expensive. Forget body panels, a carbon fiber interior trim kit alone is like $1,200.

That pic is an actual 222D, but you get the idea. His kit is pretty faithful though.

Looks like the most expensive item for a ’95 Mustang is also a supercharger kit. $5112.99 on Summit.

Turbo kit, I found one that  is 4600 dollars, which is probably what I have invested in my entire car. And that’s not including an ECU and upgrading to a 2g MAF, and head studs.

Bosworth long block for a paltry $13K Sti engine so add on some more things, a drivetrain, to switch from the wrx motor.

RMS makes a supercharger kit to order for the E46 M3, Stage 3 is $13k. It includes forged internals and all of that jazz. Puts out around 700 horsepower.

I’d think its about the same thing as for your Civic. I think Jackson Racing had a SC set for the B18, which was around 5k or 5.5k in Euros.

If 13k was the “installed”price (it isn’t) I might consider it in a decade or two lol. I’m not ever planning on getting rid of the E46 and it would be neat to have one that silly fast.

Kenne Bell once made a supercharger for the WJ Grand Cherokee. Actually I think it was for all Chrysler 4.7 V8's. If you can find one, it’s used, and either needs to be rebuilt or the price is $3K-$5K.

Alternatively, Iron Rock Off Road offers a 6.5" 4 Link Long Arm lift which starts around $2,500, and can be optioned up to about $2.850.

For an individual part, I would have to say the TRD supercharger for the 4.7L V8. These are coming in at roughly $5,000 if you can even find one. After that, probably Icon suspension or a rear bumper setup, each of which can be several thousand.

In the vein of your original post, VF Engineering will sell me a $4,500 supercharger kit that adds an extra 100hp.

For the same price as that kit for my 528i I could buy a decently sorted 540i that has the same power as the kit.

My soon to be M2 has an Akrapovic catback that goes for about $6k. Don’t think it’s the most expensive aftermarket part but it’s utterly ridiculous.

Without going FI on an E46 M3 the most expensive parts were either a real CSL intake for about $5000 with all the accessories and tune OR a rear diff swap to the BMW Motorsports 3.91 or 4.10 which was about the same if I recall correctly.

BMW GT3 bodykit - $25K for the E86 Z4M Coupe. OK I broke the rules, generally CSL intake or final drive modifications.
