We have supercharged over 100 MY2007/2008 M3's without any engine problems at all. The GS race/drift car runs a bone stock MY2007 engine which has never been opened to this day, this car has spent the last 2 years almost constantly @ 8400RPM w/7.5PSI boost. Even I am amazed this engine is still running strong with the amount of abuse it has been through.
We have so far seen 3 bad ICV valves on MY2007-2009 cars. This valve is easy to replace.
