BMW M5 Twin Supercharger - 1000 HP
I would to know what this feels like:

Here is the email the North American representative sent me:

Hi Danny,

The 3.6 L engine is the best choice.

Under normal driving conditions the engine will be good for at least 18,000 miles.

If it is constantly driven to the limit (burn outs, drag racing…) it would be good for around 3,000 miles.

If the outside air temperature is so hot that the intercooler is not 100 % effective, power might drop to approximately 940 hp.

The price is $100,000.

The exhaust must be built completely new. Do you have a maximum decibel level, 100 db ?

The engine will be completely overhauled with new pistons and cylinders, dry sump lubrication,

electronic gas control, and much more in order to realize the high performance level.

An overhauled six speed transmission would be needed.


Thanks for your interest
John

that sound slike the biggest hoax in the world, $100,000 for a twin supercharger thats apparently guaranteed to blow up your engine.....F-that

I was thinking maybe it was supposed to be $10,000 and the $100,000 was a typing error, but I never contacted them back to confirm. If you look at their website, you will see that they are reknown for quality work. Nevertheless, I don't want to blow up my engine under any circumstances.

I don't doubt that they want 100,000 for a setup of that nature. From the sound of the email, looks like you get a completely rebuilt engine as well, good for a total of lets say 22k miles.

aww only good for 940hp with a hot intercooler thats just too bad. Does this place have a record with the BBB?

Even at 10,000 that is still BS

to properly rebuild just any S38 motor is just about half that price...to do it properly

then there is turbo setup itself that is another 5-6k........what type of control system are they selling it with? is another good question to ask them.......IF THEY OFFER 1.......

not saying they cannot do it because I am doing my own M5 motor to spec of
800+RWHP

but to back up that claim they need to have a working demo car to show and tell......
