-There was a lot of info back on the original thread on M5board. I don't think any details have changed since then, except for the release date. If memory serves, the E39 M5 with this kit is AJ's (ESS programmer) favorite car he's ever driven, and he's had a wide choice! It beats the hell out of the E60 because it produces a lot more usable torque, AND a bit more HP.

IMO, they're Norwegian and don't really get "marketing". I think they might answer something like this:
Pictures? Who cares, it goes fast and is as reliable as when it was stock!
What is bling?
Have you seen pics of another FI M5? It'll look something like that.

Roman, am I far off base?

[Laidback]

That's good news finally an affordable S/C kit for the beast:)

That is about right :)

Some information has been given but you wont see full disclosure until the kit is released. And it is one of AJ favorite cars to drive I believe although he does like ALOT of cars. He has a really tough job driving all these cars for a living ;) This kit will be very reliable and will add some nice power to the M5.

I believe the production kit will run 5 psi. Here is a early dyno taken during testing on a bone stock car.

Well, a google search of "ESS m5" came up with this here:
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39-m5-e52-z8-discussion/3839-ess-supercharger.html
Notice that the thread is from April of TWO THOUSAND. So this supercharger kit has been on their website for 9 years and we're still waiting on information today? Sorry if I'm not all that excited. :rolleyes:

[onerevn7]

hahaha, should be safe, then....that's a loooooot of research!:D

[Laidback]

Did you get a ride on the S/C e39 M5?HUH miss it..... it was kinda hard the ESS booth had some clean cars especially the E39 M5 Supercharged as well as the E90 M3 that kit looked like the BMW factory made it !

[MFIZZLENYC]
