Should have kept my Chinese class freshman year, I knew it would have came in handy at some point in my lfe. Translator needed.

The Rotrex companies HQ are in Denmark, that is why I was curious. This is probably the same as the Arma charger.

什么是这个增压！

Ah ha, google translate.

Let's get some chinese speakers to contact these guys and see whats up.

It looks 10000 times better than arma just cuz it has a bigger wheel and its coverable, as far as durability.... I'm not too sure. I heard of them only once, people said they're not in business yet or haven't been

mapleridge · 02-16-2012, 10:47 PM

its too risky. Its better to deal with a proven company in NA. If VF, ESS or AA would make something I would be far more at ease purchasing. After the ARMA debacle I don't think I would ever buy something this complex and expensive from a foreign country.

Rotrex itself is a good company, however, after dealing with the Chinese for a number of years and my brother-in-law living and working in China I DON'T trust this at all.

Universal kit essentially. CRAP. Chinese shit. You get what you pay for always with these cars.

mapleridge · 02-17-2012, 10:17 PM

what tha halll.....sooner or later one of our proven SC tuner companies will end up doing it. It's just a waiting game.

I am not so sure of that, this engine has been in the game long enough for the development of a supercharger. It seems that no tuning company is interested in making a kit for this engine. By the time they do decide to come out with a kit all bmw's will be turbos and the demand will not be there, all the na 3 series will be old with high miles (skepticism)

yeah...you have valid points but at the same time there will be a lot of paid off/inexpensive e90's kicking around. Those who can't afford a $40,000 new turbo would be more inclined to spend $4500-$5500 on a supercharger and get more HP. Time will tell for sure.

You do have a valid point, the e90's have been since 05/06, that's plenty of time to design and implement this if someone was going to do it.

Agree
It would have happened by now.

The new 328/330s will be much easier/cheaper to extract power from. Seems like all the companies would rather wait for that to drop than start r&d on a older chassis thats losing popularity

Exacty, I think the new 4 cylinder turbo 328 is going to steal all the tuner attention away from the e90/92 models..
