Anddddd FINALLY! The Supercharger is in! Thanks to the team at VFEngineering for this awesome experience. This is only stage 1, so stay tuned for what's to come! Check out all the links the description to see more about the parts on my car, along with the build here - instagram.com/spencerberkegarage. MUCH LOVE! -SB

[@AnthonyMichael504]

Without a doubt add the cooler. Can you tell me what injectors they used ?

[@ediaz36]

How high does this thing rev Jesus

[@danielfarias2749]

Spencer Berke do they tune Mini Cooper ?

[@nathanmathews2148]

Anthony Michael or forget the cooler and go e85 and throw a smaller SC pulley on there. I'm running e85 with 11psi w/ Vortech V1 on my S52 and making more power than this current setup.

[@ColtonC72]

I have an e92 with the VF650 kit. Cooling is the #1 issue with our cars being supercharged. If you'd like any advise or have any questions you could message me @ e92_colton on Instagram. I've learned alot with a few years of ownership.

[@chrisvartanian8036]

My man if you want flames you gotta take off that primary cat.

thats it?

Hands down one of the cleanest and best upgraded M3 I've seen always love seeing your vlog!

[@davidh4632]

Incredible how well Nik has done after moving to US. I remember he started out with Nik Saran Racing doing vr6 conversions into mk2 golfs in the 90s.

[@ToastToGo]

Dude... thank you. Thank you for putting up this awesome detailed video that had the guy from VF explaining all the components of the supercharger kit. It gave me a greater understanding of everything and tickled my engineering bone. -Scotty

[@InfinityMotorsports]

Here we go again with the “my tuned 335i” is just as good/better/faster than the m3. Let’s just settle this now: you can make any car faster than the other, all it takes is piles of money. The 335 is a great car- and yes, a tune and bolt-ons will keep up with the m3 / out run an m3 in a drag race etc. Let’s not get carried away with the “throw some coil-overs on the 335” and she out tracks the M3... not happening. Your $7500 335i with bolt-ons and racelands still handles like a bathtub full of water compared to the m3. On a side note- a tuned 335d is a Boss as well. Torque is insane. Anywho - keep it real.

[@TreyKing63]

Thanks for the reality check....Real knows Real !

[@jaggafeen]

too many idiots with 335 fantasise with the M badge

[@maars2202]

Don't get me wrong I love M3's but spending many many $$$ on a supercharger to get marginally more power than a half turned 335i doesn't sound like a good time to me! As far as your thoughts on the handling comparison between the two, other than an LSD, a 335i with the same power as an m3 would probably do decent enough against an m3 on a track.

[@chasealvarez5209]

Yes while the 335i does indeed not handle nearly as well as a m3 a 135i would in my opinion keep up and handle a lot better. It even has the m3s dct automatic transmission and same n55 or n54 motor. Also I am not suggesting the 135 is better then a m3 but saying the 135 I think would have a better fighting chance.

[@ithinkweregoingtoneedabigg8525]

335 kids are the people who regret not spending the extra 15k on an m3 and cope by rationalizing in absurd ways. I’ve owed plenty of m3’s and have been beat by plenty of 335i’s. At the end of the day I still drive an m3

[@Mr.Saephan503]

I like how it looks clean and has that factory look to it.

[@IdealMediaChannel]

Hey how many miles did you have on it when you supercharged it?!

[@shytyfy]

Man I've been waiting for a new video to come out! Thank you lol. Car sounds awesome looks great and way to go finally supercharging it

Best M car ever!!! Nice job, perfect color, perfect Wheels, love it.

In your review later om can u include the total cost + mpg stock m3 vs supercharged m3

[@righteous1672]

The M sounds damn good! How does supercharging effect the rod bearing issue?

[@drifterx007]

Congrats on the VF ENGINEERING supercharger Spencer! Beast.. Hope to see it around on Harbor Blvd soon. Side note: I believe that was a Mercedes AMG GTS actually

[@DotcomJoe]

YESSS the video we’ve been waiting for!!!

[@Dbrautodetail]

I think I am sold on that exhaust. You really need to take the stock Xpipe out, it really wakes up the car. Mine is hitting the 400rwh with E85 tune and FBO. Going with the ESS 625 soon. Enjoy the car! Mine will be at 90k soon.

[@BimmerM5e39]

you must be filling up every 125miles on E85

[@Vikturus22]

16:28 ABSOLUTLY GLORIOUS NOISE!

[@Gofindilya]

Definitely go back to the dyno on a cooler day. Even with stock primary cats your numbers are quite low, but I think this is mainly due to pulled timing from the heat. I had an ESS 550 kit (basically the same thing as VF 540) a couple years ago and put down 450whp on stock exhaust. Even with that I was disappointed as stage 1 kits should be putting down about 470whp with cats and 490-500 without. I'd be very interested to see how much you make on a 60-70 degree day. Cool video!

[@BigDaddy_BHJ1977]

Ilya M was that kit on a BMW 550i

[@Gofindilya]

No, E92 M3.

great video spencer!!!!

[@joem3713]

I put a bigger turbo on my f80. Stock from factory its 330 or something like that. And now with the e85 tune. Im at 450 on a cool day. Just waiting for these nights to get colder in san diego!

[@richardorsulich4698]

Very clever engineering 👍

[@MrKeepitup83]

Have you got any additional cooling mod upgrades, such as bigger oil coolers?

[@Ginofox77]

Hey Spencer, are you going to make a ‘Worth It’ video type deal on the S/C? Got a E92 M3 and really contemplating if I should S/C or stay NA. Thanks!

[@famousmidnight]

That's some pretty big gains yo, those drivetrain losses are massive tho, kinda weird like 25% probably 530hp at crank, dope

[@danny1528]

Overall how much was from all the work the supercharged+exhaust +labor?? I'm curious in doing that also to my e90 m3

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

I got the same vortech blower, 👌 👍. Pulley swap time.

[@nicolas1991kek]

hello pleasure Nicolas !!! I wanted to know if you could tell me where you bought the kit for the M3 which is very interesting

[@rachelleb.2392]

Your stock/light mod numbers were 314? Seems like a stingy dyno. The deltas are all that’s important. Sounds awesome.

[@mannycweiss3053]

recently raced a V8 m3 with my clk55 amg, interesting results smoked it through the gears from onramp to about 80...top end had me by about a car or two and I just was out of breath...broke it off in mexico at around 1.5 x 100...i only have 360hp and about that much torque, where as he had i assume 450 and 290 torque but revs to about 8k vs my 6.5? maybe 7 but it starts losing power up there. oh and my car's an 04

[@jasmee93calzada80]

Just curious, wonder how much that costed you. Sounds very good.

[@Individjual]

What wheels are you running? The car is a beauty.

[@MrSkiman1999]

Where did you buy the start/stop buttom for youre m3?

Me too 😀

[@simons4474]

Me too there pretty rare in the uk. But I’d prefer an f80 all day.

[@LegendInThaMakin]

I whole heartedly disagree, e92 all the way, and I’ve owned both. My e90 was the lci too, still prefer the e92.

[@lovelyfloorcoverings]

And it's easy to put the kids in the back too

[@Sooopa_Doopa]

ditto

[@liamgray958]

Is that 434.22 at the wheels cause that's a good gain with a average loss on rwd your looking at 520hp at the flywheel I've looked at other e90 m3 dyno runs at the wheels and this all tallys up :) And how can you compare 6 cylinders to the roar of a v8? No replacement for displacement certainly for the ears anyway

[@050wickey]

Wow Nice numbers!

[@Gofindilya]

He's missing around 40hp compared to other stage 1 kits with primary cats.

[@AhadM1111]

Hows this M3 pushin 318 stock? Should be way more

[@TreyKing63]

This is the same series engine with the rod bearing issue right? How will it handle the extra loads if at stock power they are already failure prone? Asking for trouble or planning a summer of fun and a quick resale? Just wondering....

[@ThatTURK1]

TreyKing63 he had them replaced but even then as long as your car is less than 60,000 miles your stock bearing should hold the only reason its an issue is people dont warm up their cars properly even tho the bearings are the weak point of this engine it just comes down to preventative maintenance

@@ThatTURK1 100% Correct!

[@fliaquat]

Like many ppl have commented here, these numbers seem little low than normal. Ppl with fbo including pulleys and tune are making 400+ whp. I’m no tuning expert but I’m just curios as to why the numbers are so low. Perhaps cuz he still got the primary cats and not test pipes
