Subject: Supercharged M3s
I have 10,000 miles on an ERT kit on a 95 M3. I am very pleased with the kit.
Yes, there have been some problems, but ERT and Powerdyne fixed them at no
charge. My supercharger internal belt and bearings went bad. This did not hurt
the car in any way, the only tip off was the noises from the unit. I called
ERT and they said remove the unit immediately and return it to Powerdyne for
rebuilding. Since I installed the kit myself, it wasn't too tough to do this.
I was able to kludge the induction back together so that I could continue to
drive the car.
Now the good news. The system is awesome! Anyone who has ever driven a 1979
Porsche turbo will love this setup. Since ERT replaces the Motronic chip and
the injectors the surprise is much greater low end response and torque. I did
opt for the bigger throttle body, frankly if you are going to spend this much
money, go ahead and do it all! I already had installed a B&B exhaust system,
this or another free flowing system is a must with this kit.
The bottom line...Sure it was expensive ($6000), but it will outrun most
everything on the road. How about a 0-60 of 4.8 sec? Be prepared to buy a lot
of rear tires if you use the boost a lot in the lower gears. This has to be
the cheapest way to have supercar performance.
