You could suggest a stock S supercharger

and they could get you a 15% pulley! Pretty much the same thing and no wait!

Just a thought. It has too much common sense to go anywhere though...

It's BMW - I'm sure they know better.

I'm not too surprised...

These are sealed units that spin fast, fast fast! If they aren't good, they may not go right away, but they will pretty fast. Overall the units are pretty good, but a few pack it in pretty early in the lifetimes....
