Just a few questions that come to mind after seeing this.

Thanks,

I suppose ESS would supply info and instructions. And the DME shipped to them then shipped back to you.
I imagine 10 hours.
Engine no problem imho, tranny...uhm... I'd be worried about the tranny, not the engine.

My Ride: E46 Looking to make the upgrade to the E60.

Any estimates on 0-60 times? It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the M5 and e90 M3

wow that is an amazing and clean install, almost looks factory.

wonder how much pressure rise it provides? does it have a aftercooler under it?

that being said, it still looks like a good way to hole a piston or worse.
