G-POWER M3
E46 with 450 hp – Now the “old M3” is quicker than the “new M3”
450 hp for
the BMW M3 E46, that’s quiet impressive. The G-POWER SK I „SPORTY DRIVE“
supercharger system provides the 3.2 l straight cylinder engine from the BMW M
GmbH with the necessary boost to push the output from standard 343 hp/365 Nm to
awesome 450 hp/460 Nm. 20 inch G-POWER “SILVERSTONE DIAMOND” alloy wheels with
MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres in the dimensions 245/30 ZR 20 and 285/25 ZR 20,
G-POWER coil-over suspension, G-POWER braking system and a stainless steel
sport rear muffler featuring the legendary G-POWER “DEEPTONE” technology
complete the G-POWER package for the BMW M3 E46.
After
getting the BMW E46 scene ecstatic with the 550 PS strong G-POWER M3 with
integrated 5.0l M5 V10 engine, by the way the only one on the market, G-POWER
launches another product for serious performance upgrade for the BMW M3 E46,
that will fascinate the M- enthusiasts.
Being the leading manufacturer of after market supercharger systems for
BMW automobiles it is no surprise that G-POWER naturally relies on forced
induction for its new product based on the premium superchargers from ASA.
And the
result is awesome! Despite the fact that G-POWER did not go for the expensive
compression reducing forged pistons and even the exhaust system stays
untouched, reliable 450 hp and 460 Nm of torque could be realized for the BMW
M3 E46.
The secret
behind this power explosion under the bonnet of the G-POWER M3 E46 is the large
ASA T1-518 centrifugal supercharger. By the way, the ASA superchargers are
being used in the ALPINA models B5S, B6S and B7 as well, just like the ALPINA
B6 GT3 race car, in witch the chargers could state there impressive quality and
reliability during several 24th hour race in the “Green Hell” of the
Nürburgring! The exclusive use of components meeting OEM standards is one of
the basic elements of the G-POWER philosophy and one of the secrets for the
extraordinary quality, reliability and performance of the G-POWER products.
Of course a
107 hp additional power leave its marks at the performance figures. The figure
from stand still to 200 km/h improves from standard 18,1 seconds to impressive
14,7 seconds. Not bad for a car that has been introduced almost 10 years ago
and now is even quicker than the current 420 hp strong BMW M3 V8 with its 15,8
seconds.
Accompanying
measures in regards of wheels, suspension, brakes and exhaust system complete
the G-POWER program for the BMW M3 E46.
Together
with the 20 inch G-POWER “SILVERSTONE DIAMOND” alloy wheels set and the
MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres a top speed of more than 300 km/h is achievable. The
G-POWER SILVERSTONE alloy wheels have been exclusively designed for the current
BMW models. Due to the successful combination of double spokes and the
"concave design" typical of G-POWER they separate the BMW M3 E46 form
the rest of the mass production. The G-POWER “diamond cut” provides for the
fascinating dynamic appearance of the G-POWER SILVESTONE rim, in contrast to
the silver-graphite coated rim body and the bolt applications of stainless
steel. An additional feature of the G-POWER SILVERSTONE rim is its
weight-optimised design that allows a low rim weight with the same stability,
compared to other standard wheels. A perceptibly improved impression of
convenience and a considerably increased agility accompany the minimisation of
the unsprung mass: advantages of the G-POWER SILVERSTONE rim, which you can
factually experience especially in combination with the low-profile tyres from
MICHELIN in the dimension 245/30 ZR 20 and 285/25 ZR 20. Further improvement of
the road handling is realized through the continuously height-adjustable
G-POWER coil-over suspension RS with nine selectable settings each for bound
and rebound.
Of course
the negative acceleration is in the focus of G-POWER, as well. Even without
output increase, the standard braking system may lose brake force when pushed
to the limit, accompanied by a moving braking point, the so called fading
effect. The perfect cure against the fading
effect is a G-POWER Braking System. With its up to six brake pistons and up to
370 mm brake disc diameter for the front axle and 342 mm for the rear axle, the
G-POWER Braking System enables a substantially higher brake force than the
standard braking system. At the same time, the heat generated due to the
braking process can be dissipated more effectively. The G-POWER brake package
is completed by brake pads with a larger pad area, higher friction rate as well
as metal-coated brake lines. With this set-up, the G-POWER Braking System
always provides maximum brake force and the braking point remains precise in
any case.
Not
included in the G-POWER SK I „SPORTY DRIVE“ supercharger system for the BMW E46
M3, but still worth a second thought, is the G-POWER sports rear muffler. This
rear muffler is completely hand made out of stainless steel on the in- and
outside and grants for a perfect fit thanks to OEM standard product quality.
Though when you fire up the engine and the throaty G-POWER sound emerges the 4
x 76 mm end pipes of the G-POWER sports rear muffler, all those attributes are
swept aside. The sound is strong in low revs and is getting more and more
aggressive the higher you rev. With this setup the G-POWER sports rear muffler
underlines perfectly the significantly increased power of the BMW M3 E46. The patented G-POWER “DEEPTONE” technology is
responsible for this extraordinary sound pattern.
