When experiencing an ESS BMW Supercharger
youll get instantaneous power
with a touch of class.
High
quality construction
Featuring the advanced, high-speed
ASA TM1-12 supercharger unit which
combines the efficiency of a turbocharger
with the drivability and smoothness
of a supercharger. This is the only
high-speed, turbo impeller supercharger
unit on the market combining a durable,
synchronized gear transmission with
a innovative clutch system that completely
disengages the supercharger unit below
1000RPM for 100% silent idle operation.
This feature also improves idle and
low speed cruising emissions and fuel
consumption. As this unit is based
on mechanical gears it does not suffer
from the reliability issues that most
other high-speed, ball-geared supercharger
units are haunted by, it also removes
the necessity for external supercharger
oil cooling which reduces weight and
installation time/complexity as well
as providing a cleaner looking engine
room.

optimal power development under all
conditions. The redesigned ESS MS43
engine control software is perfectly
calibrated for the supercharged engine
providing optimum ignition timing
under all conditions, recalibrated
EGas for quicker throttle response,
recalibrated VANOS control and perfectly
optimized fuel delivery supplied by
6 larger Bosch injection valves included
with the kit. The software also features
a 6800RPM rev limit and removed top
speed governor.

Power development is 100% smooth and
the car behaves just like stock until
you demand power, then the car completely
transform providing brutal acceleration
normally reserved for pure performance
cars. The system provides impressive
torque normally not seen in centrifugal
supercharger systems and it combines
this with awesome top-end power.
The system maintains all OBD-II
functions and it is backed by a
comprehensive 2 year, unlimited
mileage warranty program. The system
installs in 8-10 hours using normal
hand tools and no irreversible modifications
to the car is necessary.
This system is not compatible with
