That seems like a ton of work.


Just curious. How many hours would it take a reputable shop to install a S/C, like the ESS S/C on the new M3?

prolly 8-10 hours. ESS kits for the E46 took me about a day in the half when they first came out in like 02-03...I did 2 non intercooled kits and 3 intercooled ones..an air-to-air cooler in the bumper, so all the time to cut and trim and fit everything took forever...

Maybe it was a different meet. It was one that I did not attend. I think a lot of people felt pressured about a couple of things.

what are you talking about..it took 5 to get them OUT, and I still have to swap the housings over and putting them back in, so Im looking at another 6 hours at least.

plus oil change, bleed the cooling system, fix a couple of other mistakes from other installs, should be ok.


Tryin to get Dan to change the waterpump and t-stat while im in there, but only the dealer has them (no aftermarket models out yet) and its a cool $500 just for the pump

So much for doin it this time....wait til it shits then change it LOL
