Seems like alot of your are interesed, I will put together a group buy thread soon along with pricing and ETA for delivery. I am basically using my manufacturing contacts and selling 50 units almost at cost. I dont think you will find a deal like this in the BMW community.

for 50+ batch at almost at cost, i don't think we can get much choice like catted or xi models, if any, it would most likely be 50+ catless dps to make process a lot easier on his end...

now if he can offer some combo deal or lower price on IC, i'm def. in for both. i'm on the borderline for either helix IC or vk IC due to its price...

WOW, cant believe the amount of PM's I got.
Basically guys this is the story behind this, my company was established originally to manufacture medical equipment and components. (which I still do through a different name of course) However, through my love for cars I decided to start VK Motorwerks. I make these parts mostly for fun and to support my fellow modder's (I know not a real word) and as you know make a small margin. I have been approached by several companies that seem to be pissed off that they have to reduce their prices or with the same old, "it not fair," bull shit. Obviously this doesn’t phase me. My partners and I had a meeting a few days ago. What we walked away from the meeting is this:
Why not let you guys fund your own projects? (like the downpipes) The way this will work is that we talk to our partner companies and determine a minimum order guideline. Once that is set, we offer the minimum order to the forum. Once we have a committed number of buyer willing to buy in we will then begin production. The benefit of this is that you will get the product you want at a fraction of the retail price. Just be aware that you must pay upfront and most projects take 5-6 weeks. I believe that people who have purchased from us before can attest the quality of our products. $475 oil cooler upgrades anyone? how about $700 fmic's? $300 down pipes?

At the end everyone wins.

(Side note for other vendors: we may be able to save you money in production costs as well. Send me a PM if your interest, confidentiality will be kept and we will bid out your projects. You just may
be surprised!)
