Do you plan to also move your supercharger to the next generation 5 series whatever it may end up being a 540 or a 545?

Still snow here.....booring...

Its a 6sp manual, And iam not planning to move it once again,

but Iam installing a intercooler in May (placed down i the M5 spoiler) - there will be pics as soon as this snow dissappears.
the goal with this mod is reaching 460HP, with the Race-kat M5-style exthaus-system iam planting just right now... or really just now iam switching the trunk-floor to M5 and moving the battery to the middle in that crappy plastic M5-box just to be able to
mount the quad pipes.

someone once asked me - why dont you buy a "real" M5.
well its getting harder and harder answering to that one,
but at least ,,, iam having fun on the way there!


I will also irritate som harcore orginal fans with my M3 (Type 67)
19" wheels I just bought for this summer season.

I thought it was a joke when I read your profile before I saw your pic!

Cool, we have to met up some time and I'll be dusted...

Very interesting project! How much time and $$$ does it take to do that conversion? Not just to "swap" them over a lunch or so?

:hihi:

Cool!

And do post some race stories :thumbsup:

Well compared to DINAN, the ESS guys are cheaper, but that was not the main issue in this case - rather than they have their garage about 450 kilometers from my home, because they actually moved the charger from my old E34 it took a few days but the effective time for a normal kit is 12-14 hrs i think...
The cost for the E39 kit should be about 5500USD incl. fitting in car for a Swedish buyer //Rickard
