Do any of you have any experience owning or driving a 330Ci with supercharger. There seem to be several on the market at the moment - Hamaan, AC Schnitzer, West Tuning. The MK-Motorsport website offer a couple of supercharger options which look good, but they are based in Germany, and I do not know of a UK agent.

Truth is, whilst the 330 is a fantastic car, I miss the BHP of my previous M3 EVO - Anyone have any thoughts?

I know Birds have a Spirit supercharger in development and the current peak power is about 310bhp and 370Nm.

Personally I'd avoid the old style Eaton supercharger, the mechanical losses are simply stupid...

The Rotrex supercharger is the way to go. Its a very clever little piece of kit, it hasn't really been around long enough for mainstream manufactures to pick up on (Ford are using it in their next generation of Rally car), but its slowly gaining acceptance...

have a look at

Seem to think GMC managed to coax a good 300bhp from a 325i

Also might be worth having a look at

I know he's having a Rotrex Supercharger fitted to his E30 M3 by Japspeed in Southampton, he had one fitted to his previous car a Citroen Saxo VTR of all things and that was pushing over 206bhp up from a standard 90bhp... CC&C did a review on it and they seemed to be impressed.
