activeautowerke Tuning of a 330ci

[abellia]

Bimmer magazine (Nov 2003) had a favorable article on activeautowerke (www.activeautowerke.com) supercharging of a 330ci. The increases in horsepower, torque, and 0-60 is extremely impressive and the price is reasonable. Has anyone gone in this direction for performance tuning or know someone who has. I would be interested in your opinion. Thanks...

Few people supercharge their BMW's, that's why you haven't gotten a response. A nicely-loaded 330i is $42K or $43K, plus a $6,500 supercharger, is a $49K total which is well into M3 category. Most people would rather have an M3 than a supercharged 330i (that voids your warranty and is a lot of $$$ to dish out aftermarket).
