+1 Contact member Trinity Autosport. Joe is by far the best vendor on this forum. He has great prices and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Trinity as would many other members.

Here is a link to Joe's profile http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showuser=16681

Congrats on the new car, I love the 6 series. I would highly recommend against a blowoff valve. I've read so many things go wrong with people putting them on BMW's. Not worth the risk IMHO.

Well, there's really no where to put a blow off valve on it anyway since the 6 isn't turbocharged.

So you are an Uber Noob?

A 650i is a really nice car, congratulations. You need to have a turbo charger to install a blow off valve and the 650 is not a turbo charged car. It does however have a very nice very fast 32 valve V8 that puts out well over 300hp. I don't believe anyone offers a turbo charger or supercharger for this car/motor primarily because there aren't enough V8 cars to generate the required sales and the car is damn fast as it is (its not a 4 cylinder Imprezza or Lancer). There are several supercharger kits available for BMW six cylinder motors.

The Trinity guys are great, for performance stuff I highly recommend Dinan, do a search and you will find lots of information.
