Question ESS vs G-power vs ???....

Hey guys,


I´m thinking about getting a supercharger, but which one?

Can someone who owns a supercharged M3 tell me his opinion about the costs,the modifaction,acceleration,what this means for the engine durability and for sure which brand of supercharger he got installed....etc...

The reason I want to mod my M3 is for sure: more power and better acceleration times.


Or did someone try another way to get more power from the engine?


thanks for your advice!
Peace
Patrick

Not to be taken wrong of course. ESS puts out a great product. But so does AA and G-power and Gintani (ready For taking shots for supporting Gintani).

You know what i agree with you 75%
1) AA is a nice looking kit , yet to see some numbers or 60-130's or videos for that matter from them.
2) G-power seems like a solid kit in Europe but had some bad luck here in the States , I really like how their kit looks
3) Gintani Blew a lot of Motors from what I've heard & i know you shouldn't always believe what you hear but damn i find it Odd how every Gintani kit owner is doing a Motor rebuild , just seems very odd & fishy .
4) ESS has a excellent track record as well as a well balanced Kit , Also offers a supercharged Kit for almost every BMW for the Past 13+ years ( that's why i personally chose them shit i even shipped my car from the East coast to them )


These are Facts do a search for your peace of mind ....

For the record i support every company out there that offers aftermarket Parts for BMW's

I would say as long as you stay away from " " kits which rely on meth/water you can't go wrong with any SC on an M3

I am also in support of the vendors that make our amazing cars even more amazing! Without them I would not be able to modify the M3 to my liking!
