Exclamation Everyone Check this out!!! AA Supercharger Group Buy!!!

Sponsored by SM3 and JGCM3 from Charlotte, NC.

As most of you know, Active Autowerke in Miami, Fl has developed new intercooled supercharger kits for BMW’s using a Rotrex supercharger setup. This is the only supercharger kit in production right now that includes an air to air intercooler, as well as an oil cooler for the supercharger!!! They have almost sold all of their introductory priced kits, and will soon be charging the full price if you plan to purchase one through them. We have reserved 10+ kits at the intro price, and with this group buy, we have prices even below their introductory offer price…

OBD I and II kits $4625 + shipping

325-328 kits $4425 + shipping

Shipping is $75, which includes insurance for both packages. The supercharger and parts comes in one package and the intercooler in another.

This offer is almost $1000 dollars off the regular price of the AA kit!!!

Even if you purchase the kit at AA’s intro price of $4800, you must pay $150 in shipping costs = $4950
You save $250 dollars with this group buy!!!

Comparable kits using a Vortech blower such as ERT, Dinan, or RMS are all priced well above what this AA setup is being offered for. Plus, all these kits do not include an air to air intercooler or an oil cooler, and are more labor intensive. (Unlike the Rotrex unit which has it’s own self contained oil supply), you must tap into your car’s own oil reserve to cool the Vortech unit. This is actually worse for the supercharger and performance since you are pumping your car’s hot oil into the blower, further heating it up as it is trying to force the air into your motor. You have all seen Active’s site where heat soak from other supercharger kits robs up to 50hp just from heat alone! AA’s supercharger kit eliminates this problem, and makes it even safer by including an intercooler to cool the incoming air as well as an oil cooler to cool the oil in the rotrex unit.

The kit will come straight from AA to your door. Everything comes with the kit, including the intercooler and oil cooler, along with the blower, bigger injectors, and all the parts and installation instructions… Exactly as it would if you were ordering directly from AA. If you have any questions, you can talk to Rey at AA or TKM3 on the DTMpower forum for any further info regarding this group buy. This is a great deal that you do not want to miss out on.

The first 10 people who commit to us will get this deal.

If there is such a demand that there are more than 10 people who want to be a part of this group buy, we can increase the group buy to 15 or 20 kits. This will result in an even lower price for each individual kit, and will be adjusted accordingly to all members of the group buy.

Once payment has been received by all participants who have committed to the group buy, Active Autowerke will ship all the kits immediately.

If you are interested, please email JGCM3 from the forum and include the following information…

Name
Address
Tel #
Type of BMW you have. Specify year, make and model. 95’s are OBD I and 96 on are OBD II

All information sent to us will be kept confidential with the exception of your first name (or DTM name), to keep everyone updated on who has signed up for the group buy.

Updates will be posted at regular intervals on the forum as to how many kits are still available, or you can contact us at any time.

Payments must be made via Cashier’s check, money order, or personal check (which must be cleared by us)

Please do not commit if you do not plan to purchase a kit.

This is a great deal that we were lucky to offer to all of you. So don’t miss your chance to get the best supercharger setup on the market for your BMW!

If your not installing an intercooler or an oil cooler on the Vortech units, how can the Vortechs be more labor intensive? The boost setup on AA is at 8 lbs, can you increase the boost or is it maxed out?

Just in case anyone needs more information as they did on Bimmerforums...

Shipping is $75 total cost for both packages...

Sorry I didn't clarify this in the post... Cashier's checks/Money Orders should be made to Active Autowerke. Only if you pay by personal check, must it be made out to me to confirm and be cleared before it is deposited in an account that will go directly to Active as well.

Once we have received 8 of the 10 people necessary to do the group purchase, we will request the checks to be sent to us. If you prefer, and feel more secure, you can send your check directly to Active under the care of Group Buy, and they can hold them until the group buy is complete.

All of this information will be sent again to anyone who is serious about the buy. I want this to be as secure as possible for any potential buyers, so I am open to suggestions if you feel it is not secure enough....

Thanks...

Id like to chime in to say I'm selling these S/C kits to John C here
to sell it to you guys. What you have to understand John has
started his own shop in NC. His passion for his 95 M3 turbo lead
him to open a shop from his hobby.

I can assure you John C will not take your hard earned money
and take off. He wants to buy and resell my s/c kit at his desired
pricing.

BTW John your video is officially hosted. =)

You are right in a way, but you need to realize is that he's offering
you $250 off the "introductory" price. Once a certain amount of
kits sold, it WILL go back to list price and then you will wishe you
jumped on the deal.

Its not about saving $250.00, ofcourse if there are 10 people that are ready to buy it now, then yea, for them saving $250.00 is good, because they were gonna pay ful price anyways. BUT the whole meaning of a GP is so that you have a good enough discount to get MORE people interested than the current interest. That is why it's called a GROUP PURCHASE, you buy in a group, you save big $$$$

I hope that makes it a little more clear so you're not baffled anymore....

10 kits, thats about 50 Grand, I'm sure the discount can be much more than 5%.....and I'm sure with a bigger discount you will definitely get your 10 people....

Anyways, good luck with the GP JGCM3, I was simply giving a suggestion and some members just dont' understand how to take certain suggestions and like to jump the gun. This is why DTM is not the same these days......a lot of people have become hostile and just need to take a chill pill.

I see your point Arman, not trying to jumpon you or anyone it's just that I sell new parts as well and if it doesn't come directly from the company people think you are trying to rip them off because you are a retailer and want it cheaper then you can get it for!! Sorry if I seemed hostile to you

I could've sworn GP or group purchase meant a group of individuals
got together, purchase the same item at multiple quantaties, and
save money off retail price.

I didn't knew group purchase meant save big $$$$$$$$$$$ Since
when it was categorized to be a money saver?

For you guys local to AA (me!) they have that special $5k S/C deal with free installation. But i have no idea how hard it is to install this kit, so mabye some of you wrechheads might be able to have a better deal. But it depends on how much the shop you would take your car to costs to install it. Just a suggestion.
