VF Engineering is looking for a few cars to supercharge

VF Engineering is looking for a couple of Z4's to finish tuning on their supercharger kit. They are looking for ones with the MS45 software from BMW (I beleive this is the 3.0i & 2.5i). VF Engineering is located in Anaheim, California, so the car will need to be in the general area. Unfortunatly my car is on the other side of the country, or else I would do it!

Here's what my contact at VF sent me on Friday as the deal to put out to my fellow Z4 driver's. Send me a PM and I'll forward the contact info.

20% discount and free install. this is a saving of $2250 of the advertized price of $5000 and $1250 labor.
need the car for 2-3 weeks.
Need 2.5 liter and 3.0 in manual and or auto transmissions. we need to check all 4 combinations of cars

i might be game, but your math doesn't add up. 20% of 5k is $1000?? 2250 off of the 5k is more than 50%?

It is $2250 when you add the free install.

Could our transmissions even handle the additional power? Being that we have the same tranny from the 3.0si Z4..i have my doubts.

ESS tuning has the Z4 3.0i in excess of 300hp and the stock tranny holds fine.

This is from an e-mail from the head of R&D at VF:

one purpose of us looking for a local car is to be able to use the car to submit to the local AAA emisions testing lab in order for us to sit the CARB test. Upon passing the test we will be awarded SMOG certification for all our BMW kits

it was my previous car. 330ci I had a Technik ASA supercharger installed. supposedly, they were supposed to get CARB approval as well, (went through the tests, submitted the paperwork, etc) but it never happened in my ownership of the car.
