So where's the update from what you've learned???
Spoke with the representative from VF Engineering face-to-face yesterday. The ballpark price is between $7000 - $10000 US. They are trying to keep it under $10K. They are shooting for 1st or 2nd quarter release of 2007. The supercharger will be available for both the 4.4 and 4.8 engine at the same time. Potentially, the supercharger affixed to the 4.8 engine will give the M5 a run for it's money, near 500 HP. Best part, for both the 4.4 and 4.8 is that there will be gobs of torque at the low end in excess of 400 lb-ft.

And the 43mm bolts x 10?
Everything you have regarding the spacers. What about a swap? See if my 10mm will prevent the rub.

No group buy. I mentioned the possibilty to the guy. They will do things like offer free shipping worldwide, etc... but NO GROUP buy.

I THINK they might discount a bit for the e60 forum members but not positive. Do not take my word for it.

Free shipping, for us in EU, is already a little discount .
