Supercharger is on!

WOW!! I cannot find enough words to describe how happy I am with the results. The car is way faster than before, at any speed, in any gear, at any rpm. The best part is that the car kept the "smoothness" that 330's have, so it is hard to tell exactly how fast it is. I know I can waste the 540i 6-speed. So far no major problems, adjustments and stuff. The seller said the car will be faster after a few weeks of driving, so it may even get better. Oh and 7200 redline!!!! There is pics on www.euromelee.com and will make a short video as soon as I get my summer tires.

Congrats I bet that thing flies! Hope to see it sometime in the spring, and maybe steal a ride in it.

dude, you guys dont want a ride
its sick

he banged it from 4th redline into 5th at 130mph, and the rpm and speedo just pegged in wheelspin (posi too). there was so much smoke i couldnt even see behind the car. he started to let off like 5 seconds later when the ass end started to come around on us.
basically it has no traction, everytime you floor it in ANY gear it goes to redline.

......... now that i welcomed myself back to reality. its way faster than stock. it has the driveability of a stock 330ci. and no, it dosent anihilate the tires that bad =).
hehe

Actually.....it only puts me in DS!! I have a few other things too that will put me in CS but I thought it would have been higher too.

I does spin the snow tires quite alot in 1st and 2nd, hopefully it will hook up better once i get some summer wheels......

They say it adds 110hp, and it is suppossed to have more torque than an E46 M3. The person that owned the kit before me claims to have beaten E46 M3's. Can't wait till dyno day, and the next drag day to find out for sure.

I'm definitely going to the next dyno day! Or I could just drive down to Tulley and have a look for myself...
