2008 3.0si N52 Engine question

Ok, it seems like the N52 engine has 0 (yes, literally 0) upgrades for it in terms of aftermarket parts. (Superchargers, turbo, headers, etc) There seem to be only non engine related aftermarket parts such as exhaust and stuff. Does anyone else know if the N52 is even capable of being modded? Ive heard people say the N52 engine's structural integrity is not as strong as that of the M54 or S54 engines due to the fact that the majority of it is Aluminum and Magnesium instead of cast iron like the M54 or S54. Is this true? I mean it kinda seems really out of place considering a Inline 6 is capable of much more (up to 400 on race specs) and that the i is only generating 215 and the si is only going to 255.

I mean I went to the ESS website and all sorts of other websites, they only offer SCs and stuff for 2003-2006 Z4s, nothing for 06+. Any insights?
