No replacement for the shit-ton of torque these new cars have either ‼️
Absolutely correct.

I have a Boosted 2.4L that would leave that NA V8 in its dust.

Have you driven a Supercharged E92 M3??
No, but If i had one I'd definitely supercharge it.

I'm a huge fan of supercharged cars.

Honestly I think this is the ticket right here. I do wish the S65 made its way into other smaller and lighter BMW's but it is what it is. The engine is a gem but the E9x is a bit of a boat in comparison to say the E46, modern M2 or a 997. It'd be a keeper for me only as long as I needed it to haul more than 2 people regularly. There's a 1M/135i conversion that was done, no?
