my supercharger z4m..........450bhp!!!
Discussion
ok here we go!!!
well after alot of pain the car is finally back here with me fully done and wow. The car drives just like stock, but my god full revs are eye opening, the way back i encountered a stock e92 m3 and left it standing, you can imagine the grin on my face, my mpg is exactly the same as before, oil temps are exactly the same as before as the charger has its own oil supply so it not heating up the engine oil. Under the hood looks awesome, so neat, pure pornography, in the wet the car was breaking traction very easily, infact it was scary, in traffic conditions the car behaves perfectly. Their is little to no noise from the charger at low revs i can hear a slight whistle, at high revs all i can hear is huge induction raw sucking, it sounds freaking awesome, i can also hear the blow off valve with a gentle whhhhhooooooossshhhh!! 5th and 6th gear are much improved now, with a real hard pull. i cant give to much of a review as ive only done 100 miles, but let me tell you, the car now in a different league in terms of performance, only 1 big problem, the brakes will definatly need uprating, the ease in which the car now gets in 3 figures is stupid and the brakes just wont sustain this new performance, the car dyno'd at 455bhp!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha lol!! :fuelfire: :fuelfire: :fuelfire:

Have been waiting for this thread to land since you'd said it was getting the upgrade, sounds awesome and should definitely renew the appeal from the car. I have decided that I can't part with my E46 M3 and it'll be staying even once joined by my new car.
Thing is- I was wondering if this upgrade would be too much for my 99k miler to take, any thoughts??

the kit has been professionally installed by simpson motorsport, i personally wouldnt have undertaken the install as theirs a huge amount of things to get wrong, more to the point i get 2 years warranty if i get it installed by ess's preferred installer, simpsons were excellent, they are very very good, infact my car will only to go them from now on....
this kits very low boost pressure about 5.5psi i believe, so i think you'll be fine with your high miler, this particular car has 9700 miles, ive owned it from new.

Did you fit this yourself? Was there much to it, or is it an easy D.I.Y.??
I don't think it would embarrass an E92 M3, after all it's only 40BHP more!! (Comment purely biased towards my E92 M3 of course!!! Lol.
)
40bhp more, plus a big deal lighter, new m3s are seriously rapid so im more than happy with the new performance.I don't think it would embarrass an E92 M3, after all it's only 40BHP more!! (Comment purely biased towards my E92 M3 of course!!! Lol.

i cant wait to be honest, ive owned my car for 3 years, cant afford 30k on top to upgrade to what i call a step up, so 5k gets me supercar performance in a car i love and have owned from day one, so i know its history as well, win win i say.but yeah i literally cant wait!!
