I think you will be the first to fit it to a Z4, ESS told me they haven't done so just yet.

Look forward to the results. What Psi / bhp will it be running once fitted?

a blower on that engine is going to be a combination of near perfection!! wow!! Awesome build!

i LOVED the engine from my 130msport probably one of my fave motors of the cars I've owned.

Wow some people just talk talk about what they are going to do or more power but it never happens.

You are on fire :driving:

Great work, your car looks fantastic. That supercharger will be so much fun I'm guessing :thumbsup:

Will be watching with interest :thumbsup:

I think it was 5 Psi, so pretty low. They have said 60 safe whp. So 330-340 bhp...

Thanks, hope it will be really much fun when installed. Had a blower on my 2.2 Roadster and it transformed the car :)

Nice write up pal. Interested in how you get on.
Out of interest what are the red suction cup things holding the spoiler called?

I need a set

I bought this kit one month old. It was mounted to a E91. He had a auto gearbox on this car and he didn`t like the shifts with the supercharger. That is why he sold it to me :D
