We just finished and delivered the 2nd supercharged e92 M3 to one of our customers. This car was a DCT (previous car was a manual) so G Power provided a different pulley to reduce the boost. The kit is the SKII Club Sport which has a carbon airbox and a full Akrapovic Titanium exhaust. AP brakes are going to be fitted very very soon.

This car made 606 BHP /425 Ft/lbs Torque. The manual car we did last year made 648/450 ft/lbs Torque.

I had some extensive drives in the car and the power is seamless. Baring in mind the weather we had it was difficult to drive it very fast on PS2 Cup tyres :-)

More photos to follow.

We will be taking the car to Bruntingthorpe when the weather gets better to get some timings done.

What a noise!! What mental power!

Might be worth blanking the customers number plate though - don't forget that anyone can see this website.

20K even in addition to the original price of the car is a bit of a bargain considering the end result!! This is supercar territory...

Thats awesome what a sound and fantastic power. How much power do you think the DCT box can take? Have you been given any indications from BMW or anyone 'in the know'?
