They can do it for a 530i, but I don't think it'll be cheaper...probably the same. Keep in mind this is installed and tuned.

The only thing you can do ... Send an email to ESS and ask them the DATE they will release it (edit : pls tell them we are tired to wait : the 545i was release FIVE years ago)

ESS Tuning has two different supercharger applications for the 530i.

Just got off the phone with ESS.
They do not have a supercharger for the 545i, nor is it slated to have any. WTF !!

So now I ask you guys, what to do now?

Whatever happned to VF-Engineering? They were working on a supercharger for the 545 several years ago and I was leaning towards doing it when I had my 545 but decided to go the M5 route instead.

Joe, what company are you working with and why the secrecy?

advancedlogic, rings don't create Dark Lord of the Siths, they create Sauron of Mordor.

VF is taking WAY TOO LONG...they said release date around early/mid 2009!

No secrecy over here.... (Gintani)
