Honest opinion and advice, do I need to be a car expert to own an M3 with a supercharger? I know it voids BMW's warranty so how is everyone else's M3 reliability wise with an ESS tuning kit installed?
When something needs work does everyone work on it themselves, or take it to a third party?

Have the car inspected at an independent BMW shop, preferably one who has dealt with modified BMW's.
That said...ESS kits have a reputation second to none. If the car checks out overall, rest assured it is fine...
As for your questions....some do the work themselves, others use the shop who installed the kit.
