M3 Engine OR Superchanrger
I have a 325i and i think the best option to get more power would to be put a S52 in my other option would to be rebuild my motor and supercharge it, I was just wondering in anyone has done either and what would you guys sugest.

Re: M3 Engine OR Superchanrger
personal preference, but if i had the dough, i'd keep my car NA and drop in the well-balanced S52

Re: M3 Engine OR Superchanrger
Personally I would go for a Turbo-kit. Garrett makes a nice turbo that bolts right on to your M50. Dropping in a S52 would give you the power you want now, AND give you the oppotunity to mod further. However dropping in an engine is A LOT of work and unless you do it yourself it will be very expensive.

I work on turbos for a living, and while a turbo would give you good power increase with out having to swap motors, you will still have to spend a fair bit of money to fit one - Correctly that is!
It is not just a case of bolting a turbo on the side of your engine - is your intake and exhaust going to be up to it? What about the engine management? What will happen to the legendary Smoothness of Your BMW engine after you fit a turbo? Personally, my thoughts, If you have the Dollars go for the S52 Engine - after all if it still doesn't give you enough power then fit a turbo to it! Rossco 1996 E36 320i(Euro)

Just noticed your original post was S52 or Supercharger?
Superchargers not so bad as turbochargers, but wouldn't the S52 give you more power than fitting a supercharger anyway? Rossco 1996 E36 320i(Euro)
