What is the hp gain from installing the ERT supercharger ? I though that
it would be at least 75 hp, which for a 325i should result in a total
of about 265. Wouldn't that be enough to out perform a 240 hp M coupe ?
I know that the M coupe is lighter, but...

How much does the ERT upercharger cost ? What hp gain and tourqe gain
is expected when installed in a 325is ? Will this combination produce
a faster car than the M3 ?

I'm thinking about this mod.

Thanks,
Per
