When it comes to squeezing more power out of your E46 BMW M3, the Active Autowerke PRIMA supercharger kit is a game changer. Developed alongside Frank Smith from TuningTechFS, this kit has carved out a solid reputation as one of the best bang-for-your-buck supercharger systems out there. Seriously, if you're looking to push past that 500 WHP mark, this setup is worth a closer look.
The beauty of the PRIMA kit lies in its straightforward design. It’s a fully bolt-on, non-intercooled system, which means you won’t be dealing with any custom fabrication or complicated installs. Just a simple, reversible setup that lets you get back to enjoying the drive without a ton of hassle. Plus, if you’re itching for more power down the line, you can easily upgrade to Level 1 or Level 2 options without breaking a sweat.
Now, let’s talk features. The heart of this kit is the Rotrex C38-92 supercharger, which is paired with the Active Autowerke GEN 7 Intake Manifold plenum. This combo really brings the heat. And for those who love that satisfying sound, the DOUBLE Blow-off Valve setup adds a nice touch. You’ll also get the Active Autowerke Green Filter and Filter Cover, which helps keep things clean while maximizing airflow.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, this kit comes with high-capacity fuel injectors and colder heat range spark plugs, so you’re set for optimal performance. And don’t forget about the dedicated oil cooling system—because who wants to worry about overheating when you’re out on the road? All hoses and clamps come pre-assembled, making the installation process even easier.
Here’s a quick look at the dyno results to give you an idea of what this bad boy can do:
Just a heads up, though—these supercharger kits can take up to 6 weeks to ship due to blower availability. So, if you’re planning to upgrade, it’s a good idea to call ahead and check on the status.
In short, if you own a BMW M3 from 2001 to 2006 and you’re looking to amp up your ride, the Active Autowerke PRIMA supercharger kit is a solid choice. It keeps the driver-centric feel of the M3 while giving you that extra kick you crave. Get ready to hit the road and feel the difference!
