"We have received notification from Supersprint that they have no stock of this currently, and they are not expecting these to be available again until October. I am very sorry for the disappointment. We have cancelled and refunded the order. If you would like to look at these again nearer October then please let us know."

Dammit!!!! Any other options or just wait till October?

Any luck Phill? October will be here before you know it mate.

You clearly need a carbon airbox then... oke: 8)

Ha you are exactly right! I do need one. I tell myself that every time I drive the car. Then the £3k cost brings me down to earth. At £1,500 I would probably go for it. Do you have one?

Not yet... It is expensive but I think it completes the car with some cams which you already have so your nearly there! 8)

Contacted a few places in UK and one in Germany. All out of stock, so no choice but to wait. I have put a note in my calendar end of Sep

Ha, whenever I think I have stopped I am scouring the forum for more! I have zero plans to sell the car, so SC seems like the best option. For me a 3k airbox is a non starter as the sound is epic but its just sound, and the 3k is a third towards having 535hp and exclusivity in a Z4MC SC.

I could be tempted with the 1.5k option all in but the differences between the e46 and e86 just make that journey one full of risk and probable pain.

I know for a lot of people doing the SC means all the other stuff needs doing and the costs spiral, but my engine has a new top end, with the schricks and the rebuild, the bottom end is inspected and the shells replaced. Compression tested, cam phased tested, you name it. So the engine is as sound as you like. I have the BBK already, the KW V3s, the ARBs, the car is ready for more power. So I think that is my plan now, slowly build up an SC fund.

You know mate, thats probably the best choice to make. I love the NA sound, but 535 cannot be denied. That will make it off the planet.

Don't want to put a downer on the idea phil, but look into the implications of having put higher lift cams in the car (designed for NA applications) with a supercharger, as FI specific cams would ideally have a longer duration. They may mess with any standard SC tune, as the tune will have been done for the standard lift/duration of 268/268.
Did you go with 272/272 (which should be ok I think) or 288/280 (which might present a problem)?

Yea I did casually have a think about the cams when I was thinking SC. Looking at what I have they are essentially the CSL spec cams:
SCHRICK CAMSHAFTS FOR S54 (B32) 6 CYL. 4 VALVE E46 M3 STAGE 1
-280/132-72 - Intake
-272/128-83 - Exhaust

I am hopeful that is close enough to stock to not create a problem but I have no information at all just a hope. If anyone out there has ever supercharged their CSL I guess it must work, outside of that .. ?

Good forward thinking I would give Simpson Motorsport a call, they've been supercharging s54s for a long time now and I have personally seen some supercharged oem csl cars there so they should know. I believe they generally use ESS kit.
Happy saving That will be a proper weapon one day.

I wondered why you went 280/272.. now we know.
Any further info on comparability come to light?

I added to cart and neither said out of stock buddy

Give them a shout perhaps??

Thanks for trying that
I'll give them a shout. The thing I find is noone stock these, they are all special order with supersprint. Few places in Germany were similar, I enquired and they confirmed no luck.
