dinan supercharger -01 330ci

[kierdogs]

I have an 01 330ci with a couple dinan upgrades (free flow-exhaust, cold air, differential, struts, level 3 software). Looking to throw a supercharger in the mix, but from looking online it doesn't look like dinan makes one for the 01 330. Can anybody tell me different, or recommend an alternative for more faster car that goes really fast and goes faster?

Sounds expensive.

VERY sexy car though. <3

Depending on cost, I would be interested in a Dinan Supercharger, but I do not think they make one for the 330. Not sure why, there are plenty of BMW's besides the E46 with the same engine.

an e36 m3 goes faster for the same or less price

Not sure how you based "faster" but on a strictly HP basis

E36 M3 = 240 HP

E46 330Ci = 225 HP .....with Dinan goodies 240 HP

I have to guess that a supercharger is going to add more HP and power to a 330Ci over a E36.

Just my 2 cents.

the highest signature dinan 330 has 240 hp and it would cost a lot more than buying a used e36 m3, lets see whats better e46 330 lets say you buy one used between 30-35k that's just what i saw on autotrader, then you spend 7k on dinan crap just to get it to 240hp, and still the m3 for 15k is faster cause the 330 is a heavier car, what do you think is better, not to mention the m3 is not only faster but a better car in all perspectives cause its an m model, AND you could buy a whole dinan supercharger for the m3, which they don't make one for the 330, and have a supercharged beast that is still 10 grand less than the 330, so i don't know what your talking about trying to say that the 330 is a better car to put a supercharge in or a better car to mod for more power,

also if you still want to keep your 330, take a look at this supercharger Active Autowerks supercharger they are one of the best bmw tuners around and i'm sure you'll have fun with that kit

If he wanted just speed and power he probably would have gotten an M in the first place though. The 330 is a more luxurious car, so while it might be a fraction of a second slower, he gets there in more style.

the m logo can turn the e30 into a stylish car, but he said if there's anything else that goes faster, so i told him and it's not just a fraction of a second

For any e46, I would recommending going to RENNsport for parts... they always have their cars featured in bmw magazines.. their most recent featured car..the Z4SR

as for superchargers.. their ASA kits are second to none..

if installed and tuned properly they produce 350+ HP..

you can also opt to go for the N/A Technik tuning option.. stage 4.. this produces 300+ HP

you can, for ultimate power, combine the ASA supercharger and the Technik S4 kit for some insane power...

both cost about $5200 each ..plus install.. so for just over $10k you can have an insanely fast 330..

for those that don't know, ASA is the company that produces the superchargers for all the Alpina BMW's.. each blower is handmade and tested before shipped..

you may be wondering, how did I come up with all this stuff.. plenty of research.. cause as soon as I get a new job.. take a wild guess as to what I'm ordering.. (now if they would only finish up their dyno tuning so I can complete my Techniq Stage 1 kit.. )
