Additional Notes from Manufacturer: 

Since the supercharger does not compress air as it moves through the rotors, it’s extremely efficient during light throttle and cruising situations. Unlike screw-type positive displacement superchargers that are always compressing, the TVS unit can internally bypass unwanted air, resulting in negligible parasitic loss during cruising and therefore far greater fuel economy.

The single cast unit and appropriately sized rotating group eliminates potential leak points and allows for a slim, compact design without sacrificing key airflow design characteristics. The unit features a high velocity flow path through the supercharger rotors and an unrestricted discharge port into the appropriately sized plenum. The large plenum equalizes flow across all ports as air feeds evenly through the low-pressure-drop, dual internal air-to-water charge air coolers. Finally, the ports are separated into individual runners, offering greater operation by eliminating cross-fire.

BMW E46 330 Touring Featured in BMW Performance Magazine

Its pretty rare that you get to see a high performance BMW 3 series wagon.  Available abundantly overseas, I remember seeing a E60 BMW M5 “estate” over in London and thought how sick that would be to own.  Our customer Stuart has been working on his BMW 330I E46 Touring Wagon for the past several years with Performance Specialist Greg here at Vivid Racing.  Greg obviously did a good job cause Stuart even gave him a shout out in the mag!  Now that is customer service!  Some of the parts that Stuart equipped his 330 with include a set of BBS wheels.  The front features a set of BBS LM in 19×10.0, 5×120 bolt pattern, and a +20mm offset.  The rears are a set of BBS LM in 19×11.0, 5×120, +25mm offset.  Both wheels finished in silver.

Getting nuts behind the wheels is a set of StopTech Trophy Big Brakes.  The StopTech Trophy brakes are the full race big brake upgrade that StopTech has.  The front kit is a 355mm 2piece rotor with a 6piston caliper and the rear is also a 355mm 2piece rotor but in a 4piston caliper.  Getting further unique, he equipped the inside of the car with a set of Recaro Sportster CS black leather seats retaining a heated option.  The seats mounted perfectly to the car with a set of Wedge Engineering Seat Brackets.  If we find more pics, will add them up here because this is 1 badass BMW!
