I agree that that is misleading.

So do you think Dinan will make a supercharger for the 545?
The word from the street is No More Superchargers!! It is just not cost effective anymore, look what AMG just did for Mercedes they rolled out 5 new models all N/A 6.3L with 500+ hp.

BMW leaves absolutly no room under the hood to accomodate a supercharger and all of the plumbing to go with it. The focus is going to be on stroker motors, it will be more cost effective and easier to tune.

Dinan invested a lot of money in a top notch machine shop when they got into building engines for the Daytona Prototypes in the Rolex series and now that all of the teams have gone to factory sponsored engines Dinan was left with the shop. So what better way to use it than to build bad ass stoker motors for the curent BMW's

Yeah probably similar, I know that the focus right now is on the M5 (650hp+) and the Fisker 650.
I think that the ultimate goal is to get the Fisker to put out around 500hp 450tq and the M cars to make 680+hp and 500tq

But I won't know until November when I go back up there

You are making me drool.....

Then again, I'm nowhere close to being able to afford those cars, let alone the performance upgrades.

I'm drooling anyways.....
