ACM or Prestige BMW surprisingly. Their performance department is giving me a really good deal on the kit. even though labor is higher it might but a little less than ACM. BUT ACM has more experience and they will also charge me a lot less for my oil changes which I'll be doing every 3K-5K miles

Oh yea which kit 625? I got a decent price also.. I didn't know BMW installed sc kits.... I was debating the ess kit for a while but now I'm thinking I might do gintani but it's a big diff in price..

Gintani not bad but ESS is the only way to go on this car. They have done thousands and really good support

If you already have the Gintani tune (and like it) it would make sense to go with Gintani. That's what I did.

You have a gintani sc kit? Yea what I like about gintani is that the tune is custom to your car and they can tweak it anyway you want.. The ess is just a reg tune same for all cars pretty much.. I also feel like it's a better built kit quality wise..

Yeah, I just received my stage 2.5 (including meth) kit last week and it's being installed as we speak. I do love the customizability of Gintani's tune. Alex is a good guy as well.

Where are you getting it installed if you don't mind me asking?

Great revive of a post. I was just wondering this question too.

In addition to the original op's question, are you guys replacing your bearings around the same time you install your s/c?

Some have custom tunes. Others have all the records with their regular, off the shelf tune.

Makes you wonder

Any 100k mile superchargers out there yet? If so, any additional maintenance (other than oil and plugs) or issues to report?
