This is very sad news! They developed a great product for the E46 M3 platform. I was following the development of Z4M turbo kit. It's a shame it never came to fruition. I hope the company would regroup one day and keep developing for S54 and perhaps produce an S65 turbo kit. Between the coming inline 6 turbo M3/4 and a turbo charged S65 V8 M3? I would take the V8 any day of the week!

That is crazy. I live in Portland and spoke with Chris about what they had in the works for the Z4M just a couple months ago. Sad to see things end this way.

I actually emailed them 2 days ago and Luke said they are not planning on producing kits for our platform BMW Maniac. Did he tell you otherwise?

When they initially released the kit for the E46 M3, I asked and I'm not sure if it was Luke, but someone said they would love to, just need the car....guess not anymore
