I'm sorry for the lost but I'm sort of confused? U have a shop of ure own but still insisted on taking to AA to get the work done when u could have saved the extra money on labor and made sure everything was in order? Also, when do shops offer warranty on aftermarket parts? I'm surprised that AA would even give back partial refund unless the sc was the reason why the motor blew up and not bc the motor just seized up due to weak oem internals.

Maybe supercharging and increasing the Redline on a engine that's marginally lubricated(bearings) for high rpm ops in stock form under extreme conditions(track) is a bad idea. Maybe lowering the redline might help the rod bearing lubrification... |

How does the car record a top speed of 198? Is there a black box of some sort in this car?

I thought that these supercharger installs came with a 2 year warranty from AA not BMW!?
I know that Sonic MS's AA superchargers come with 2yr unlimited warranty, so does this just vary from installer to installer?

Sorry to hear that it never worked out with AA. I can vouch for the OP and he is a good guy and does own his own shop.

Imagine getting a 25K engine + labour for the purchase of a ~$14-16k supercharger kit. Those numbers don't add up! Here are the terms and conditions off of AA's site: This warranty is limited to repairs and/or replacement of the product or part found to be defective without charge. Active Autowerke reserves the right to refund the complete purchase price for the defective item and will not be held liable for losses or damages arising from the defect. If a part or a component from an Active Autowerke product, system or kit is found to be defective, this warranty shall apply only to the defective part or component and shall not require Active Autowerke to repair, replace or refund the complete Active Autowerke product, system or kit. Active Autowerke cannot accept freight costs of any returned merchandise to Active Autowerke for inspection and/or returns. A 20% handling charge for all returns may be applied. Under the stipulations of this warranty, Active Autowerke will in no way be liable for exceeding the original purchase price of the defective product. This warranty does not include the cost of removal or reinstallation of the product. No person or representative is authorized to extend any warranty and/or liability (other than that which has been expressed herein) in connection with the sale of any Active Autowerke product. Active Autowerke disclaims any and all liability for any implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a specific purpose. Under no circumstances shall Active Autowerke be liable for any incidental, indirect, specific or consequential damages arising from purchaser's use of the product. To the OP: Being an AA Dealer you should be aware of their terms and conditions. If you are going to sell a product you need to know the legal side of things so you can inform your customers, and not sell products under false pretences. Mods like this are always at the owners own risk...... You gotta pay to play! |

Sorry to hear this OP.
Wondering why AA didn't delete the top speed reading? And in before the thread DELETE.
