Vehicle Description

ESS Supercharged!

Over 470whp on Pump Gas!

Brembo Big Brakes and Volk TE37 Wheels!

Fully Serviced and "Big Three" Done In The Past 6 Months!

Thousands In Upgrades!

The E46 M3 and it's legendary S54 Inline 6 is a remarkable machine. Chances are if you are looking at one, you have driven one and if you haven't yet make sure you are ready to buy because once you do it's game over. This particular E46 M3 is actually owned by our company president. He purchased the car a little under a year ago and put it through extensive service and upgrades. Right away he addressed the "big 3." Rod bearings have been replaced, the rear subframe was reinforced and Vanos system properly checked. Now that the maintenance stuff was out of the way it was time to make the car perform even better.

First on the list was an ESS 540hp Supercharger system. Paired with its own fuel system and front mount intercooler it gave the car very nice bump in power and much needed bump in torque. The Eisenmann exhaust was retained but it was paired with a non resonated section 2 pipe and Active Autowerke Long tube headers. Making the car sound amazing and none of that rasp commonly associated with the S54 Engine.

Now that the car got a bump in power it needed to stop and grip. A Brembo 355mm 6 piston big brake kit was installed in the front and paired with Upgraded DBA rotors in the back and Hawk Ceramic pads. Wrapping over those brakes are a square set of (now discontinued) 18" Volk TE-37SL wheels in mag blue. Rubber meets the road in the form of new Michelin PS4 tires.

All of this was done at local BMW specialists EP3 Motorsports. Tuning was handled by HTE motorsports and a new 93 octane calibration was mapped resulting in 477hp at the wheels.

If you are looking for a well sorted, tastefully modified E46 with a nice increase in power over a factory model...this is your car! It promises not to disappoint.
