MARCH 2012 WINNER
Brian's 2003 BMW M3
There's a little more than catches the eye with this M3. The theme, SNEEKY. The car is virtually stock, aside from the VF-Engineering VF-420 Supercharger kit. With the exception of the M-Parallels, there is nothing on the outside of the vehicle that would indicate anything other than it belonging to a elderly person that only putts around town with it to pick up groceries or take the golf clubs to the local course. The owner, being a 23 year old Mechanical Engineer, doesn't frequently take the M3 to the store or to the golf course. Rather, the car visits local car shows on the weekends and also enjoys the occasional drag race to prove its worthiness in the owner's heart.
VF-420 Supercharger Kit
Installed at VS Motorsports in Schaumburg IL in Late 2011, this introductory kit from VF-Engineering is one of the most affordable ways to get into Forced Induction(FI). This kit also has a very sneaky setup since it has no Front Mount Inter Cooler(FMIC), making it practically impossible to see that anything is out of the ordinary, until the hood is popped. According to the average gains seen by VF-Engineering, the Horse Power(HP) output should be increased from the factory 333HP to somewhere around 420+HP!
With the addition of that much power, the notorious sub-frame concerns were addressed and the Turner Motorsports Sub-frame Reinforcement kit was installed as well as AKG Subframe bushings.
