Active Autowerke Brings Back 500 HP E46 M3 Prima Supercharger Kits

Back when everyone was talking about the BMW E46 M3, nobody even imagined that the M cars will migrate to turbocharged setups. Forced induction was out of the question back then for purists. However, people always wanted more torque and if you didn’t have a problem with tuning your engine, you could get incredible amounts of power out of the S54 unit.

Active Autowerke was one of the companies that offered supercharger kits for the E46 M3. They’ve been doing for 30 years now and they learned a thing or two in the meantime. Their Prima kits were incredible and the guys are bringing them back now, to give the new S55 units on the current M3 and M4 a run for their money.

Thanks to them, the 3.2-liter inline 6-cylinder plant can go up from 333 HP to around 480 HP. That’s right, you get that same high-revving engine but with a lot more power. Come to think of it, it’s more than the 431 HP the F82 M4 has.

The stage 1 kit will take the power output up to 480 HP at first but in case that's not enough you could go for the Prima Plus kit that takes things well over the 500 WHP limit. The crank number in this case goes up to around 600 HP. As far as pricing goes, the stage 1 Prima kit costs $5,895 while upgrading this kit costs another $1,500. Those prices include installation and shipping.

That means you’ll have it sent to your location and installed for free at an authorized service that Active Autowerke works with. The list of shops includes locations in Indiana, Washington, Maryland, California, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Connecticut, Louisiana and more to come.
