Since then, they've amassed a legendary reputation as the largest BMW supercharger system manufacturer in the world, and as a well-known innovator in the chip and ECU tuning sector with an extensive expertise in Bosch and Siemens engine control systems. In the quest for true uncompromised performance, no one rivals ESS Tuning.
Featuring the self contained ESS G2 supercharger unit which is capable of 800+hp.
The S85 G2-680 Gen.3 intercooled supercharger system comes with an especially developed cast aluminium manifold assembly with a integrated liquid to air chargecooler. A large capacity front mount heat exchanger and high performance circulation system cools the manifold mounted chargecooler.
The Gen.3 version of the S85 system has a different manifold casting with flow optimized, injection molded throttle body couplers in addition to a new 4" dual silicone intake system for increased overall system flow. Then Gen3. carries over the upgraded front mount heat exchanger with casted end tanks and beefed up aftercooler circulation system from the previous Gen.2 update of the kit.

First time at Southern BM today and it won't be my last. Efficient and quality service as I'd expected at a much more reasonable price than a BMW Dealer. The only downside, you'll drop your car off and will end up drooling over the m3s and m4s out front!

Touched base with Sean to do some coding work on my F85 X5M. Not only was he a whiz with the tech stuff, knowing his way around without any difficulty. Very rare to find someone like Sean - I happily rate and recommend this business for anyone.
