ESS supercharger kit GB feeler...
Hello all,
I was wondering what the interest would be like surrounding a group buy on either the V525 or V550 kits from ESS for our beasts.
VT525 kit - MSRP $7995
V550 kit- MSRP $9495
E39 M5 VT550 Supercharger System - ESS Tuning
If we could get 3 or more people signed up for this, I can get a pretty good deal. Depending on how many people I can get on board, discounts will only get deeper with more committed buyers
A deposit at 15% of MSRP will be required to sign up for this group buy.
Thanks to all for your interest and please let me know!
Regards,
Cal

If only i could justify spending $9500 on this and not a house...
BTW, there is some company from New Jersey is selling the ESS VT550 for $8900 on ebay. You might want to take a look at that

I am close to pulling the trigger on an ESS kit but I would like the VT 570 kit to make the most of the UK fuel but I hope the price of $9500 does not mean £9500
