WHY THE PRIMA SUPERCHARGER KIT FOR YOUR E46 BMW M3?
Since BMW ceased production of the E46 BMW M3 in June 2006, it has become one of the most coveted models to enhance with various performance modifications. One of the more popular upgrades to date has been the addition of a supercharger system like PRIMA, capable of creating over 600 horsepower to the rear wheels.
As newer iterations of the M3 are introduced, past generations like the E46 invite a whole new community of BMW owners seeking performance modifications relative to the car's value. This translates to reduced expense on Active Autowerke supercharger components, making it the perfect time for an entry level supercharger system.
Simply put, not much compares to a PRIMA-supercharged E46 M3 when it comes to bang for your performance-vehicle buck.
CAN I RUN PRIMA WITHOUT AN INTERCOOLER?
YES! In the past, running this kit without an intercooler would have been considered suicidal due to the extremely high 11.5:1 compression of the S54 engine. Thankfully, through years of product development, testing, and tuning of supercharger applications with this motor, PRIMA kit and associated software have undergone changes to successfully and safely marry the S54's stock motor with the rigors of a boosted application.
