I`m sure ESS will expand but a recent post from them stated that the stage 2 for Z4 was on hold, they`d already said before that post, that the Z4 550 kit wouldn`t happen this year. Maybe this now wont happen at all as the 550 kit needed a bigger I/C again.

Maybe they`ll use the Gen 1 water/air set up as the heat exchanger is much smaller and could be fitted behind the kidney grills.


I just spoke with Roman this morning and my car will be ready very soon with the VT2-500 installed. There is no heat issue, the only problem is fitting the intercooler piping and tooling required. This is for GEN 2 VT2-500. This winter VT3 will be installed.
