he E46 M3.

Over the last few years the price of the M3 has

risen considerably with some even hitting price

tags of £15k for very clean examples with low

mileage. It goes without saying that we are aware

of its flaws but without a shadow of a doubt, it’s

got some things that you just can’t ignore - the 3.2

litre straight six engine that snaps you back in your

seat and that purrs its distinctive tone. Pure petrol-

head thrills.

However, for our customer, those 338 horses just

weren’t enough. “It’s just not quick enough for

me, but it’s a great car.” So what did he decide to

do about it?

Intro the VT2-550 Supercharger system from ESS

Tuning.

Vortech V3Si internally lubricated supercharger

unit with high capacity front mount intercooler

system. Completed with ESS spec high capacity

fuel pressure system and direct replacement

Bosch fuel injectors.

The one-belt driven with self tension system is CNC

machined using hard anodized brackets, CNC

hard anodised pulleys and a long life serpentine

drive belt. Five-layer super strength silicone hosing

is used throughout, high capacity bypass-valve

system and oil breather assembly unit are

designed to handle the boost.

Then to complete the package, K&N cold air

intake for improved cooling and true OBDII

optimised MSS54/MSS54HP ECU software with de-

limiter. Better still, it comes with a 2 year unlimited

mileage warranty.

The result?

Wow. On the test run it was slightly damp out, the

rear end just didn’t want to stay put losing traction

• this M3 has turned from a tamed track attacker
  to a beast. The needle glides up to 5000 rpm
  effortlessly and then just keeps sweeping. You
  have to really use some stomach muscles to keep
  yourself in the upright ready-race position. Even
  better – the whine of the supercharger coming
  into the cabin really does put a smile on your
  face. He was definitely right – 550 horses is better
  than nearly a half over 3.
