Dont think the E55 engine bay allows this kind of turbo location does it? Must be more room on those SLR's plus the exhaust orientation probably helps aswell.

Absolutely true. I was posting more or less tongue in cheek:)
This upgrade will most likely cost more than ANY e55 out there for sale

I would be great if they would just build a nice set of top mounts for us 55 guys.
I'm sure they could do it and it would sell easily.
With all of great products they have it would add to mix they could even use it on their own S/C system.

After nearly a decade here the one absolute I've learned is, pictures, promises, and PR mean NOTHING. I'll believe it when I see it...hear it...and it runs without issues on multiple customers' cars.

From the way it looks they ditched the SC and went with the TT. I'm suprised they still used the water/air IC.

Not an engine swap.

They're removing the supercharger, adding turbos, and adding an addition intercooler where the supercharger once was.
