The price of the product + car cant add up to the price of an M5. Your supposed to get close to the power of an M at a much lower pricepoint of buying the actual car and this is the problem here. If the price was $5000 you will have a much easier time selling these kits. Plus just getting the M5 you get the suspension,brakes and all those little things that make it an M.

Regardless, I wish you all the luck with your product!

+1 but then again from a business point of view - they need to recover their R&D cost (too bad people dont realize the concept of sunk cost)

I think if this kit for fairly priced around $5-$6k like most of the superchargers are priced around, they will have a much higher demand.

But then again people pay extra $$$$ for a dinan exhaust when they can get similar results from other resources.

I agree 100%....i know they put alot of upfront money into this kit, this is probably why they are pricing the kit so high (in addition to it being the only one available to us), to make back their investment.But they either make back the investment at a slower pace or make hardly nothing at all.

Especially because there a lot of N62 on the roads at present, so an affordable price would give an high demand imho.
