ESS Supercharge questions

Looking at the ESS Supercharge (one with 535 HP) just wondering what people think, if its worth the money.. I was also wondering if it this voids the warranty? Any1 have one for sale?

Several guys on this forum are running our VT1-535 supercharger kit. Here is a review done by E90///M3 http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=406982 you can shoot him a PM im sure he can give you some feedback

To answer your warranty question I would expect most dealers will deny a warranty claim on the drivetrain if you have a supercharger installed on the car.

It really depends on your relationship with your SA. We have local customers with the ESS kit installed and still go in to BMW for warranty service. The 535 kit has a perfect balance of the OEM feel but with great power at higher RPM's.

Also we have a ESS VT1-535 special going on right now

The ESS kit is the perfect kit for the E92 M3's when it comes to reliability and safe power. I have had the kit for some time now and have never faced any issues with it . The local BMW dealership doesn't offer any warranty on my car now , but it still gets serviced as though a stock M3.
