They have since fixed it but for them to get it wrong in the first place is silly! http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Vehicles/2009/M/M3Convertible/M3ConvertibleMediaGallery.aspx - Was originally here... ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

yeah, but blowers use engine power to work, tubbies don't. Though it would be better to have a smoother more consistent power delivery of the blower ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

Turbo's will add to the back pressure of the exhaust which will still have a throttling effect on the engine which will sap it of power. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Ahh.. I've done a little testing here too.. Actually the losses to drive an S/C is about the same as a turbo restricts the flow of the gasses, so horses for courses really. I have to say I prefer S/C's as they are much easier to map, but they do not give the shove in the rear the Turbo does. Having said that, S/C's dont tend to run out of ooomph at high RPM's and tend to run lower charge temperatures in comparison. Just my 2 pennies on what I found while testing both systems on the same engine ------------- [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1a1.jpg">[IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1b1.jpg"> |
