Engine tunning for E53 3.0
 

are there any kind of Turbo/Supercharger kit for the 3.0 X5?
I have a 2003 3.0 X5 and the warranty will expires in few months... so Im thinking about putting a turbo or supercharger in it..
I checked the Dinan website but all they have is the software upgrades.
so Im wondering that if anyone here knows that if there are any Supercharger/Turbo for the E53 3.0 X5s, and how much they cost..
thanks!:rofl:

Go with the Technik Supercharger. Gives you a little over 4.8is power for around $6000. Many people here will recommend ESS, but they both use the same Kompressors (ASA), and Samir (owner of Technik) is very well known in the BMW Community, and is in California, instead of Norway, where ESS is located.

It isn't on there site yet, but they do have the application. :)

Just sent them an inquiry through the customer service thing to ask about the supercharger for X5
thanks for the info!:thumbup:

Does anyone here actually have a 3.0 supercharger?

Technik use ASA TurboMex TM12 supercharger for 330i (M54 Engine) with 6.5 PSI boost output is 340 HP and 310 FT.LBS however ESS use different supercharger which is Vortech V2SQ for X5 (M54 Engine) with 7PSI boost output is 335HP and 415 NM. Technik doesn’t have supercharger kit available for X5 only 330i which is completely different thing. Also ESS located in San Diego, California.

So Aimster if you looking for complete supercharger kit ESS is your only choice - $6235 and 0-60 6,4 sec with auto transmission.

There were a couple/three posters with superchargers...
Kirk has a supercharger I think, from my fading memory of
WestFest, :rofl: ...he does have a Titz X5. See link and
chase him for more info and real world tips:

But, for 6Gs,+++...I'd trade it, throw the 6Gs in, and
get a nice used Vette or, or, or...any of which will be
a lot faster, much better handling and more fun
than a sling shot X, but that's jes' me.
