You can get an ESS supercharger for the N52 soon?

Where linear power delivery and smoothness meet power and have an amazing threesome, I assume. This along with headers, intake, exhaust, and a tune could bring major ponies to the table while keeping weight, acoustic qualities, and redline satisfaction intact! Sign me up if I ever buy a newer NA BMW.

I'd like, some day, to have a Z4 M with an ESS supercharger on it. The intercooled one.

Neato. If I ever inherit the Bimmer, I'm installing one.

That would be awesome. I think they're best known for their S54 SCs but with the N52 aftermarket being nearly non-existent closing in on 400 HP is an amazing prospect! I'm now quite tempted to try to buy my mother's Z4 when she's done with it. Nothing like a BMW engine when it isn't turbocharged IMO.

Thinking the same thing here! The N52 is basically the last and most advanced of its kind, but with a decent supercharger that allows it to make serious power, it would be pretty respectable when you put your foot down! Perfect mix of the N54's power and the N52's satisfaction.

I wonder if it's just a case of just bolting on the S/C, I really hope the internals don't need to be changed out.

As far as I know, ESS's systems are basic bolt-ons. Most people are saying they're developed to allow the stock internals to function reliably. Can't wait until they hit the market!
