M3 CSL, SC, the swedish way

[frasse]

Hello!
Maybe U guys want to see one interesting project. This is what we do in Sweden.
This project had ONE goal, more HP per KG. 1380kg is this far cut down to 1340 and increased the hp to 480. I send U a image and video for you.
We have parts from the US, wheels from Kinesis Motorsport and exhaust from AA tuning. We also lower the car with a suspension from H&R.
The SuperCharger is a prototype from ESS and its soon coming to the US as a Bult-on-kit for M3 E46.

[JGM3E3632]

hell yeah!

 

[HornyHornet]

Very impressive. I have heard of the ESS supercharger before. I think they can mate it to a E46 330 as well to produce around 300HP; maybe more.

One sick ride

Hi, Frasse, how many more hp can an Ess SuperCharger produce for an M3-E46 Convertible (already tuned to have 391 hp)?

 

[MrElussive]

Wow, that looks so raw. I love it, it's so hot. How big are those brakes? They look absolutely massive. I wish I had an M3!!

damn

that CSL is sick, freaking disgusting... I'm only 17 and I never had my license due to some authority (i hate cops) issues... but I drove probably about 5 different bmw's so far.. 3 of my close friends drive an '04 330Ci, an '02 323Ci and a '01 325i and I just love that car. As soon as I get my license which will be in about a year when my suspension is over I'll get an M3 with some help from daddy (financial wise).

Anyways, I was wondering for a while now why the CSL's have that little hole on the left side (or right side if looking across) of the front bumper?

That hole is a induction for the intake the CSL uses. It goes all the way to the lower bumper.

 

[MrElussive]

Yup, it's the intake. People did something similar with the old E30 3-series...they used the left or right (not sure which one) inner headlight (the one for the high beams) as the air intake.
Most cars use an air intake system that draws in air from the front spoiler (at the bottom).
