Anyone know the status on this yet? Do you guys think this will happen? I don't believe the economic state thing because they have a s/c kit for the new M3 V8

Hi Guys,

I've been getting a lot of requests about the supercharger for the V8's. It is now April and I have contacted Nik @ VF Engineering to see when this will happen. Thank you.

I emailed VF directly and reply I got back is that they are in R&D now and should have info late this year or early 2010. I'm not sure how accurate this is though.

Have you seen: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry849837 ? There was a group buy for 530i owners if your car has the engine M54.

IMHO a trade-in for a CPO M5 would be a better deal for me than putting a supercharger on my 550. But for now the 550 has plenty power for me anyways.
