{"product_id":"g500-supercharger-system","title":"G500 Supercharger System","description":"The ESS Tuning Gen.4 G500 supercharger system represents a significant advancement in forced induction for the E46 M3, backed by extensive engineering and over 1400 systems sold worldwide. This intercooled kit is designed to deliver a potent 500 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque at 7 psi of boost, transforming the driving experience with brutal acceleration.\n\nAt its core is the patented ESS G1 supercharger, engineered for high efficiency, durability, and low weight, contributing to a ~12 lbs system weight reduction and a quieter operation. The system includes a robust 6-rib belt drive, a 3-inch front-mount intercooler (FMIC) designed for direct fitment without OEM bumper modification, and a custom cast aluminum intake manifold with an integrated high-capacity bypass valve. This setup aims to maintain the M3's iconic chassis balance.\n\nInstallation includes the ESS E-Flash OBD2 cable and specialized ECU software. This recalibrates ignition timing, throttle control for quicker response, VANOS operation, and fuel delivery for optimal performance and reliability. The E-Flash system allows for software updates and restoration of the stock tune via a Windows PC. Power delivery is characterized as smooth and OEM-like until power is demanded, at which point the car transforms.\n\nThe Gen.4 G system boasts an improved bracket design for 60% greater structural rigidity, a 3-roller belt drive for enhanced traction in demanding conditions, and one-piece silicone hoses for improved flow and easier installation. Rigorous testing, including over 50,000 miles of street and track use, extensive dyno tuning, and Autobahn\/Nürburgring endurance tests, ensures reliability. The system maintains all OBD-II functions and comes with a 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty. Installation is estimated at 6-8 hours and requires no irreversible modifications. The G500 requires 91AKI\/95RON fuel or higher and is intended for the E46 M3 models from 2001-2006, compatible with both manual and SMG transmissions.","brand":"ESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687942648120,"sku":"ESS-SCK-E46M-G500-SMG","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/663171495.webp?v=1784887844","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/g500-supercharger-system","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
