Mikewads "StormShadow" Supercharged M3

mikewads · 03-29-2010, 08:03 PM

My M3 went through a big transformation last week!

First on was the ESS VT1 supercharger system! The kit came in last Monday and I installed the system and had it running by Wednesday night. A few things that I really like about this system is the V-3 supercharger with its internal oiling system, a well designed intake manifold, and stout supercharger bracket. I would like to thank Roman for all of his help and answering my many questions!

Next on were the new 19” BBS CH-R wheels purchased through Greg at GT Motoring. I had them wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s (255/35R19 on the front and 285/35R19 on the rear).

Here's a quick video and some snapshots!
