Talking Supercharging a 2004 E320

I have a new E320 and was interested in supercharging the engine. I fould out that KLEEMANN has one for about $9500. Is it worth it?? Is there any others out here?? Any advise would be appreciated.

how much HP would it increase?
does it void your warranty?

If you do that, you would need to upgrade your brakes, wheels, tires and suspension. you are looking at nearly 18K. Might as well sell your car, spend an extra couple bucks, and buy a used 03 E55.

It put the car @ 331HP. I thought about the brakes, suspension, tires, etc but would it be that off if that was not replaced??

it won't be "off" but it would be smart to do. power without control is just asking for trouble. besides, i had an s/c in a previous car and it just adds more problems. you'll always be tinkering with something (fuel system, intake, intake sensors, o2 sensors, s/c rebuilds, etc.) not worth it in my opinion. might as well have started with an e500 and do minor mods to get it to 331hp. around the same price and you would have the suspension and better brakes already.

03 e55 isn't a bad idea either.

vtec26 post makes a lot of sense.
plus i'm guessing your warranty would be voided.
if you were to trade on a E500 you would receive almost
all of the HP you want with warranty and some other
niceties.
good luck.

E500
Sell the car and buy a new one!

why waste money on 331HP and void warranty?? Just get a used E500 or E55 for cheaper price. I am selling my E500 next month when my E55 arrive.
