Yeah, its tempting. For probably $4500, it could get my car near 300hp which is pretty decent. I could go 535i obviously and then do jb4 for around 400hp, but its gonna cost me at least $25000 to do that, not to mention my car isn't worth much to resell, so its definatley not a bad option. I've put probably $6k in maintenance and repairs in the last 6 months, so it will probably run well for a while. :think:
It just seems funny at the thought of supercharging a 525i, it would be nice if I had a 545 or something and did it, but overall this kit seems like a good deal for a roughly 80HP addition.

Sounds good, it's definetly worth it! let me know if you need more info, to place an order and your deposit call vf-engineering. Tell them your part of the group buy, BTW its starts at $3795 which is already discounted from $4500, so if we get more than 5 well get even more off!

Well, I have a Dinan-tuned 545 here. Though I'm pretty satisfied with my current setup (very sublime!), I certainly would be very tempted in making a similar move for more power and torque!! But sadly, they still don't offer a V-8 based supercharger unit as yet. Oh well, perhaps down the road? BEST REGARDS.

Remember, you can usually re-gear these superchargers by replacing a pulley and produce more than the advertised power. This often results in voiding the warranty.

back to the old treat...ITS THERE ANYTHING (beside bms-air duck -rpi- that a 2006 530I(N52 ENGINE) CAN get? to raise this amount of hp(80-100)?
thx u

Nitrous.

Any body else joint the list ?
I'm waiting to hear back from vf to see when are they are going to ship the sc .(allready place the order and pay for the kit )
I let you guys know how it goes with the install and results

Awesome. Post a before and after dyno if you can.

I will try

Finally I received the super charger last week and i starter working on the installation process right away but now I'm stuck with a lot of work and the project will need to way for a couple weeks but at the same time I send the ecm to vf engineering for the re flash and I need to wait until they send it back.
