Nice choice there. I'm leasing my 5er waiting for the f80 too....but who knows maybe I'll just keep this sucker and throw a few mods her way.

Should be compatible with all n55's. The turbos are all the same.

Small update: Were supposed to see our first batch of turbos somewhere around 10-14 days from today. We are going to install one on our test car and send one to Terry at BMS so he can work on his tune. Unless Cobb can get the N55 AP done very quickly Terry may be the only game in town for right now. We will be tuning our test car with the Cobb so we hope they get it done soon so we can get moving. Either way we should have some results for you soon.

I report what I told by my machinist. I think I may have set them back a little on the N55 stuff when I dumped 100+ N54 manifolds on them and told them chop chop. Also the full reprogram of the CNC process for the N55 pushed it back. We should be on track now, once they are giving me firm dates. It usually means its close.

This is still a product that was brought to market extremely quickly.

But the market wasn't there. Some people are just coming out of warranty and there are a few more brave souls doing it under warranty as they have had their cars a while. I applaud Vargas for putting a big enough focus on this to get a completed product out.
