My initial thought is that's a ton of money for 20 HP.

i think 20hp is the bonus... the sound alone is probably going to be worth it!
coding out the DISA will be a must, but it does mention about a "complete idle control valve circuit".... i mean, we've got DBW throttle bodies, so i wonder how they handle that.
looks nice though. would love to hear how it sounds!
EDIT: "Drive by wire throttle operation is not supported." whoops. i guess it's out of the question then...

Yeah, this doesn't make sense. All M54's had drive-by-wire as far as I know... so how is this product supposed to be a bolt-on for a motor that utilized a drive-by-wire throttle body? lolOriginally Posted by slater

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

It looks like you actually add a throttle cable during install...?
Edit: nvm. The engine pic below looks to be an S52. I don't know how this works.This is a complete bolt on kit that will fit m54 bmw engines. Kit is supplied with standard m50/42/44 cable attachment that will fit both LH and RH drive vehicles. Drive by wire throttle operation is not supported.
Big Earner
Yeah it says it comes with an M50/42/44 cable attachment so I'm guessing you have to install the cable and can no longer use drive by wire.
I thought this looked pretty cool until I shit my pants at the price tag.

Not only will you not be able to use DBW, but the traction control system won't work either, and you'll be greeted to yellow warning lights every time the car is started.
I really don't know why this bothers me so much. Somebody explain! lol

I have a feeling they are either falsely advertising this product or made an honest mistake stating it's for an M54. It's not as simple as "we've provided a throttle cable"... that requires modification to make it work, as well as the software (DME, MK60, maybe EWS?) implications of making this work in a non-halfass way (read: warning lights) makes this more complicated than they lead us to believe. That means this is not truly bolt-on for an M54 application...
