Whats going on with ESS?

Z4-VILLA · 03-08-2010, 06:14 AM

Anyone know what the deal is they said "march" would be when they would release Z4M supercharger kit....Yet still nothing....Have been looking at the wrong web site? (JK) but seriously Any one know whats up?

ryanchua · 03-08-2010, 06:38 AM

Wait for Romen to reply...

I've been waiting too. They've just been busy with the E92 M3 cars.

Sigh.

Sigh.

Z4-VILLA · 03-08-2010, 06:45 AM

e92= over rated. If they were so baddass then why are they retrograding to a straight six again? Triple sigh.

nmulax · 03-08-2010, 06:59 AM

E92 = larger market. It's business.

Knowing Roman and the guys, they won't release something till they are 110% happy with it. Which is a good thing; even if it means waiting a bit longer.

ryanchua · 03-08-2010, 07:02 AM

No doubting that. I've read alot of good things about him.

That said, a market is still a market, so hopefully it doesn't fall under a rock somewhere.

Z4-VILLA · 03-08-2010, 08:19 AM

true. I was only venting.

nmulax · 03-08-2010, 10:11 AM

Haha completely understandable

Z4-VILLA · 03-08-2010, 10:37 AM

somehow the only current BMW that is impressing me is the 1 series.
I would love to it with an s54 though, turbo charged maybe but now Im dreaming.

jragan · 03-08-2010, 11:33 AM

I believe they've been chasing down a problem in the ECU with forced induction S54s which applies to all applications (E46, E85/6) and manufacturers (HPF, ESS, etc). It sounds (from a thread on bimmerfest) that the problem has been fixed.

gago · 03-08-2010, 11:31 PM

i talked to rom3n and this was last week and i think the supercharger (the new ones) are suppose to be out end of march

You must have missed the bus when RPi was developing their exhausts... they were in "development" for a lot longer.

... of course, said with respect.

if you here me out there romen!!

sales@ESSTuning · 03-09-2010, 11:06 AM

Hey guys

The new VT series for the E46 M3 / Z4M is very close to release. We will release the stage 1 non IC kits first followed by the stage 2 500 hp kit. As always in the release of a product such as this there are delays. We hope to have the Z4M kits ready as soon as we can do some final tuning / testing.

Z4-VILLA · 03-09-2010, 01:10 PM

cloud8r · 03-09-2010, 01:55 PM

Drool...

That car would be undrivable on a racetrack without a substantial rear wing. It would have lots of front downforce and not much at the back. But it sure does look nice.

thats hot....someone build it!
