The motor change from M54 to N52 in 2006 is why our Twin screw superchargers are only available for the older models. They do not work with the newer N52 motors. The N52 would require an entire new centrifugal sytle kit designed from the ground up and im not sure the demand would be high enough for the R&D and production costs involved. This is why you dont see to many FI vendors building this product.

I would think most of the demand that drives this would be from the E9X consumer base...and unfortunately they dont need a super N52 since theres the perfectly fine N54.

How much interest would warrent ess to build it? I need to ask, how many previous non-SI models have you guys sold superchargers for? I ve owned Fi cars before, mustang and a camaro, so with this news im seriously contemplating getting rid of mine and either getting an 08 M or the new twin turbo Z4. Just sucks there is not much interest in the product. The car need a bit more power, and I like to tinker with my cars, just there is no tinkering with the SI coupes, there is virtually no aftermarket for them.
