UK's First G Power Supercharged E92 M3

beemerbird · 09-15-2009, 05:42 AM

Impressive stuff.

Presumably it blesses the M3 with some low down torque now as well?

So what mods are required for the chassis, brakes and suspension to cope with and compliment the power?

maybe they got more room in there...

Not just some low end torque.......buckets of it. The power is everywhere.

We are fitting Brembo 380mm brakes to this car. This really is required for spirited driving.
The standard EDC suspension in mode 3 copes extremely well with the power. You get a huge amount feedback.

So 10k euro's?? for it

Sales@Evolve · 09-15-2009, 07:13 AM

That's the SKI kit, including fitting you would be looking around that price.

In UK pounds it's £10350.

I disagree!

It's because the SKII is just more than enough.

dxb335d · 09-15-2009, 09:54 AM

Fantastic Sal and the guys. Very happy for you.

I thought the car was Jerez tho, the one outside when i was last at your place with Andrei!?

neo871 · 09-15-2009, 10:12 AM

I guess that was the one Carl. I don't think they did another one and didn't let us know!

Anyway, in my opinion this is a a great success technical wise too. I don't think it was that easy at all....

Congrats again Sal/Evolve!

Btw, this might be stupid but does G Power provide a new map for the engine too?

neo871 · 09-15-2009, 10:13 AM

Oh, and other question Sal...is the M3's stock differential better than the Quaife LSD that some of us have?

Jude1 · 09-15-2009, 12:41 PM

Very impressive guys, looking forward to seeing the dyno graphs for the difference in power / torque and the spread.

Sal can you pm me with a fitted price for the SK11,just asking at the mo as I think its going to be a bit pricey for me.

May as well buy the GT-R .

MIKEYBMW1 · 09-15-2009, 01:04 PM

thats very true but I still think the M is a far nicer car than the GTR.

neo871 · 09-15-2009, 02:34 PM

+1

Sales@Evolve · 09-15-2009, 03:04 PM

Again, thanks very much for the positive comments guys!

I am unsure if the M differential will be beaten by any aftermarket type. Only time will tell.

As far as comparing this to a GT-R is concerned - it's a totally different thing.

An M3 + an SKII kit can be had for less than £50,000. There is nothing in my mind as reliable that will be as quick or have the level of useable power.

neo871 · 09-16-2009, 01:14 AM

It would be really interesting to know how the other parts of the m3 handle this power boost but i guess that g power thought about it! Anyway, time will tell!

dxb335d · 09-16-2009, 07:07 AM

The 'box and clutch are still standard are they not Sal?

Imran@Evolve · 09-16-2009, 11:06 AM

Here is a picture of the actual car taken with my phone. The CF card in my SLR is not working so will take some proper pictures later this week when we will have the carbon arbox fitted (awaiting delivery from G Power).

ElegantSpoon · 09-16-2009, 11:58 AM

That looks as amazing as I bet it is to drive!

Love the flash of orange in the grill.

So much better if the grills were black though

Good stuff from the Evolve boys

, it's amazing they have managed to get this far using GPower!

German efficiency and communication should never appear in the same sentence
