Wow - that Kellener's is quick - looks like you got just a bit of a jump, and that made a big difference. Very, very respectable for a 5 passenger sedan!!

I wonder how the Dinan 3.91 compares to the Kellener's. (Note to self - we need to get some videos of the Dinan 3.91 diff vs stock M5 and M6!!)

Both cars are very impressive. The Z06 is just a monster, gaining on the M5 in the high-speed, high-rev conditions where the latter shines the most. To paraphrase Porsche's tag line: "Weight, there is no substitute."

I called Germany and spoke with Kellener's on Thursday of this week.

They do not have any dealers in the US that can do their full tune yet. They did tell me they would be willing to fly an installer over to me and install their package as long as I covered T&E.

This could be very attractive if we got a small group buy together and fly them over to take care of us directly.

Anyone interested?

Cheers,

Darren

MGuy,

That's actually Eisenhaus (the US distributor for Eisenmann) who they have a relationship with for distribution only (based in Chicago).

The problem you'll have is finding a shop familiar with the new V10 BMW engine to do the install unless you want to use your BMW dealer. If you use your BMW dealer, the problem becomes warranty and your VIN gets flagged immediately in the system.

I spoke with Anderas Eschenlohr (Kellener's General Sales Manager) and expressed my concern about using the BMW dealer and keeping the upgrades as stealth as possible. That's when they offered to get creative with me and fly one of the tech's to the US if I'd cover T&E.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Darren

There are a couple of us who've done some research on the Kellener's set up. PM me if you're really interested.
