Had to check for myself. ESS is finally releasing an N52 Supercharger kit! I probably won't be spending the $4995 on it, but if the reviews are good and it proves to be a more reliable option than a FBO 335i, it might just be too tempting! According to ESS it'll yield another ~100 horsepower. I'd love my E90 at around 350, but if I do decide to go this route I'll most definitely try to trade my 328i for a 6MT 328i WAGON. RWD, hydraulic steering, ~350 horsepower wagon? What's not to love!

What's the N52 make for hp stock? Like 240, right? With the s/c kit bringing it up to 350 (and with a solid torque bump I'm sure), that would be a VERY versatile car. Very exciting news, and you're right on the money with the E91 6MT comment - make mine an LCI as well please. Drooooooooooooooool

Yeah stock they are right around 240. Imagine pairing the S/C with headers, a 3IM, a tune, and an exhaust. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

I'm currently searching for an M-sport LCI E91 6MT. I might have to settle for an Xdrive :(

Never settle for xDrive! Your car is out there! I looked every. single. day. for 6+ months before I found my M.
