Anyone interested fellow E60ers?
We can get a great discount if we order more than 4 kits altogether, even better discount if we order 7 or more.
Here is the original ESS prices (not including VAT) http://www.esstuning.com/default.asp?c=sho...at2=229&id=
First we need to know the total amount gathered, then we are looking for the best offer from serious dealers globally. We can also merge here potential buyers from other forums, like e46fanatics, bimmerfest, bimmerforums, Zpost, etc (if possible)
Serious inputs please

Our goal has to be a reasonable 15% discount for up to 4-5 kits, or 20% (or more) for 7 kits or more.
FYI: ESS raised their prices by 20% last September...
I know this is going to take a long time to complete, but quantity always have the power to lower the price. The company is entitled as "European Supercharging Systems" but there are many ESS dealers around the world, yet a very powerful in the US, so I think the headquarter in this special purpose, can arrange a delivery via their local dealers almost everywhere.
Everyone that is willing to join the group, can do his own research and announce here the result. US guys you have the power, so do your best!!
...just some thoughts

There are 2-3 potential buyers, serious individuals from our local BMW forum, but they will make it sure in 2-3 months or so.

how much more if I get the upgrade TS3 package with the TS2. Can I get even a better deal? Total from their website with the TS3 plus TS2 would be $13,000 so with 15% off it would be $11,050. Not bad for 470 DIN at 15 psi boost and 540NM Torque. how easy is this to install?

If you have manual transmission it is doable. TS3 parts are direct swap, a good/experienced mechanic is necessary though. With steptronic 340Hp is the limit (TS2)

Count me in as being 100% serious with buying this part. But I wonder why the supercharger for the E46 330 is a lot cheaper when we have the same EXACT engine. Why is it that we cant buy the E46 charger? This may be a dumb question I dont know.
