My 3.0Si Coupe Supercharged, new pics

bmwZ · 08-28-2015, 03:55 PM

Before I drove the Z to ESS, I got the time to mount my new brakes

This is the parts used:

Front:

-Original Bmw Performance calipers
-Original Bmw M3 CSL rotors
-Original Bmw Performance brake pads
-Special made brackets for caliper made to fit Z4

Rear:

-Original Bmw 3.0Si calipers
-PF drilled rotors
-Original brake pads
-Mercedes E-Class caliper covers

Those front performance brake calipers was not a great match to my new paintjob, so I decided to paint them Lamborghini Rosso Mars 3 stage red.
As I kept the original rear caliper, I had to do those as well.

Rear brakes:

Those rear brakes was not that good

To get a nice finish on the rear caliper, I grinded them smooth, a work from hell

After the pro paint job

To give those rear calipers a nicer look, I modificated a Mercedes E-class brake cover

After fresh paint, the logo was oversprayed and sealed with some clear coat.

New rotors mounted

Cover mounted to caliper and spring

Front:

So finally, here's the dyno graph I got from ESS today. Very happy with the numbers and the linear graph

This is stage 1+ at 5psi.

dubsesd · 09-09-2015, 04:08 PM

Very impressive figures...but more importantly how does it feel?

Beedub · 09-10-2015, 06:44 AM

32348035331 for multifunction wheel. The parts are NLA (DISCOUNTINUED) and it looks like there are only 3 sets left in Germany .

Yes, of course

There was no space for the airfilter to be mounted in front of the supercharger. So ESS have buildt a new steel tube before the airfilter, they have also changed the supercharger belt position vs E90 setup. Having electronic steering, it also have a different belt. Can not feel any heat soak, but will try to run a cooling line to the air filter soon.
The air have a shorter way into the supercharger now. That gives more power if it's not running to hot.
