Supercharged M3

[Captainawesome]

Just bought my self a 470bhp supercharged M3. Will post some more pics tomo as I just got home.

Initial impressions are that it is bonkers fast but badly needs a splitter as the front gets awfully light under full power. Will update tomo.

Awesome.

[anonymous-user]

was this the one in the classifies with the ESS supercharger?

Looks nice,

[Captainawesome]

Yes that was the one. Tried to but it the first time but was too late. It came up again as the guy has just been offered his dream E30 M3.

It's MENTAL but drives sooo well. My first supercharged car and just keeps pulling and pulling and pulling. Full interior retrim and carbon everything.

I love it.

[Amirhussain]

Liking that, looks more 'beefy' & brutal compared to the M3 next to it, must be the colour I think.

Fantastic!

Looking forward to seeing more pics... I think a video may be need too!

Swap your headlights, indicators and wheels over and its a winner for me.

Going to be keeping your N/A?

Also would be interesting to hear how it compares to your old Evo

Looking good, how does the gearbox cope with the extra power?

[slippery]

Watching with interest. I also like the idea of a supercharged E39 M5.

[Captainawesome]

It's just under 80,000 and can't find any record of clutch replacement or huge gearbox faults. Seems to be ok.

It drives just like a normal m3 but when you put your foot down it explodes, between 5000-8000 rpm it is just crazy. Cruiser and bruiser. Perfect no compromise car. On the motorway journey home it actually returned a better mpg (slightly) than the N/A M3.

Has been very well looked after and I will continue that. Not keeping the other two as I have a baby on the way so if anyone wants a mint (and I do mean mint) 43,000 mile E46 M3, or a 400 bhp, 55,000 mile Evo IX get in touch.

[Captainawesome]

Less than a week after buying it parked it u in chipping norton today and some fkING tt FACED dhead IGNORANT fkWIT OF A fkING SON OF A fkING bh has just done this.





Why can't you open your fkING ttTING doors carefully you fkING COCK SMOKING ASSHOLE.

Obviously there is no note and I didn't notice till I got home or I would have been waiting. Patiently waiting.........

fkING IGNORANT PRICKS!!!!!!

It looks worse in reality and there is no way they didn't notice as they must have given it a right old clatter.

wkERS!!!

Lovely, lovely car.

[Drew986]

Cracking looking car with a very comprehensive list of work done to it, having owned an e46 M3 I appreciate the cost of tuning the S54 to such a level, The previous owner must of spent a small fortune on the ESS kit alone.

Out of interest who did the work on the car CA Automotive?

As for the door ding, I doubt the cretin responsible even notice nor cared about it happening, depressing really.

The cretin responsible probably didn't notice, someone has done my rear quarter the same, ignorant fking mongs.

[Tc24]

Amazing, that pretty much sums up my dream M3 Do enjoy it.

I'm sure one of those PDR wizards will sort that dent for sub £100, but it must have taken a real cocksocket to do that and not notice/leave details.

[Benbay001]

That is awesome, OP!
Any chance of a video?

A splitter wont help unless youre accelerating from 100mph. You need to be going quick to generate down force.

[martin mrt]

Cracking car in one of the best colours, I bet its awesome with the charger fitted

Not a fan if all that carbon, it looks cheap having it fitted everywhere on a full fat road car IMO

Once the PDR guy fixed the dents, some new centre caps would go a treat

[benny 61]

Excellent car, that will surprise a few people.
