At the moment... I'm seriously considering doing this for my ///M before or during this upcoming summer season...this will be something that I know I will thoroughly enjoy... an ESS E46 M3 VT2-550 Supercharger System (Gen.2)

crazyxzer0 · 01-11-2013, 03:44 PM

do it.

cak323i · 01-11-2013, 09:50 PM

Y E S ! Dooo et

cak323i · 01-12-2013, 08:59 PM

Tonight I also decided to get this so I can drive down in time for my annual reunion with these shoes on my ///M

Pricey but for me it will be well worth it and I think it will look awesome on my ///M

THECLEANERBEAMER · 01-12-2013, 09:04 PM

Wow nice! A lot for them but quality no less just don't curb check!

AtortolanniTFS · 01-12-2013, 09:04 PM

I have been very careful in the past three years with my VMR VB3s so I will continue to be very careful with my CH-Rs when I get them. Yeah, every time I take the ///M out I will have to keep that in mind...

I thought so as well Adam... now to get things in order so I can get these wheels...

THECLEANERBEAMER · 01-12-2013, 10:00 PM

What size tires are you gonna run? And brand of said tire?

I'll be getting Michelin Pilot Super Sports in the following:

Front: 245/35ZR19XL 93Y B
Rear: 275/30ZR19XL 96Y B

Love the direction this is going in! Those wheels will look absolutely fantastic, especially with meaty tires!

As a personal opinion, I'd prefer an HPF turbo over the ESS supercharger, even if it is a bit more expensive! But regardless, I cannot wait to see this thing finished! Preferably in person.

Thanks Dzenan! Problem with HPF is that for about the same power I will be looking at possibly $30k or so. I agree HPF is :drool but for the money I'm okay going with ESS. They actually make reliable supercharger setups

Right now I'm still thinking of staying with 245/275's but if I decide to go with 285's in the rear I'm not sure how big I should go in front??? 255/285? is that the proper setup? Not sure if 245/285 would work....

255 in front if you go 285 rear. This is what I had. But when I went with the Michelin Super Sport rears they didn't have the 285 and only 275. I find with the Super Sports I break traction a lot more. If you're going Supercharger, I'd go with 285s. My PS2s were much grippier than the Super Sports for what it's worth.

I have always liked the BBS CH-R wheel.

Okay Alex, I will be looking at the PS2s in 255/285 size then.

Should be very interesting since my goal is to boost my ///M this year

You never cease to amaze me. The M (and the ZHP) you've created are stylish and compelling pieces of what a BMW can be...

Looking forward to seeing one of them later this year...

Thanks Ed! I wanted to show you what I have been up to since you and I have seen each other. I'm enjoying all of this and do this primarily to see just how far I can take things but at the same time not be outrageous or over the top...trying to keep both very clean

Thanks for the complements!

I'll be updating my steering wheel with a rare perforated leather steering wheel
