I often get asked by customers how many supercharger kits we have installed in E9X M3's. Currently we have 21 kits installed worldwide with another 4 scheduled to be finished this month.
Here a few pics of some of our supercharged cars |

That will be 25 total ESS S/C kits within the next few weeks installed in customer's cars around the world!
Well Done!!

I am just trying to assess the risk here guys, can you get caught and if so how? I understand ESS wants to get CARB approval which is wonderful but this may take years. I guess I am just not as comfortable at being illegal as most of you are. |

Not for nothing but everyone i take for a ride cant believe how stock looking it is and how smooth the power delivery is , and these people are owners of exotic cars .....
So im not surprised at the number of kits sold ... What kills me is the mpg per tank 230 to 260 more power and more mpg go figure |

Like someone else said if your worried about the visual inspection I bet there are places in CA that would look the other way, just like here in Texas... As long as it passes the OB2 here you can find places that will pass the visual. My diesel truck passed inspection and it's not stock either and it's very evident it wasn't in CA. Have you ever seen a CHP/police in Ca pull someone over and ask them to open their hood? I never was pulled over there so I don't know, but I just have never seen anyone looking at their hood. I think these supercharger kits are freaking amazing!! When I decide to pull the trigger on a new m3, you can bet your @$$ i'm sending it to get a charger, just a matter of who.... |

I think what is nice about the ESS kit is that it almost looks OEM. I don't think they would know the difference, although I do not even live in the States - I am speaking just under assumption.

If he was a peckard he would tow the car,take you to jail and then cough up the warrant. I guess it all depends on whom you run into. I never ran into a bad one when I had the supercharger on my E46 ZHP.

As great as this sounds, I'm not sure that its accurate. Most chances are if you are being pulled over it's for doing something that is against the law, not because the officer wants to wish you a safe trip. Now I'm not a student of law, but its been my understanding that he/she can impound your car if you refuse a search. At that point it's up to a judge whether they have the authority to search your car (with a warrant I assume). Now I don't know that they can just throw you in jail, or place you under arrest without valid reasoning, even if most of that "valid" reasoning is very vague. However impounding your car is a totally different story. Driving is a privilege, not a right. It can be taken away quite easily.
