Word on the street is they have came out with a kit of the n52 platform and it's retails at 4900 dollars!
It's on their Instagram page!! http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=986099

I'd like to see a high mileage test. What's the boost set at? Is the claimed 100hp at the rear wheels or at the crank? Is the DISA manifold and catless headers used in unison or is it a bone 128 with the supercharger attached?
I'm genuinely very interested and would love to see the aftermarket expand for the n52. Plus super charger noises are awesome.

My guess this is based off that z4 n52 with supercharger i posted an article some time back.

100HP at the wheels and it could be interesting.

I heard you say a lot about the engine not being suitable for turbocharging. How do you feel about this mod?
I am not an engine expert (far from it) so curious to read your opinion on this.

That being said, superchargers do retain a nice NA power delivery feel, and ESS is a pretty decent company.

Agreed. The only reason I might consider the kit over just trading for a 135 is the uniqueness of a supercharged 128. Would be smarter to go 135 because it's built for FI and has higher potential, but a blown N52 would definitely be unique.

Besides uniqueness, you're getting lower insurance rates and potentially better power delivery for less.
