Just found these pics in my photobucket account of a 535 M30 i bought from a car auction a few years ago that had a nice little supercharger fitted 8)
Didn't look much as was gold with dark brown velour but went well enough :) Thought they may be of interest to someone.

Did you know when you bought it that it had a supercharger or was it a nice surprise when you got home?

What happened to the car?

Yes mate as soon as i heard it start it was obvious to me 8)
Made the bloke driving it through keep the bonnet shut and not sit there revving the engine and most didn't know :)
Bought the whole car for 1k and kept it a few weeks and then sold it via ebay for 2k :P
Wish i had it now of course but i was still well into my Cossies at the time and so didn't realise one day i could have popped it in the 30 :( :wink:

Would have been about 3 years ago or so now.
Theguy said he was going to experiment with it and maybe stick it in a 6 series but to be honest i didn't give a damn i just wanted the folding :P

sleeper!!!!

looks like a good installation. the parts seem to be made specifically for the application rather than diy.

any ideas on the specs of the thing?

I'm quite interested in the conversion, turns out it's real hi spec stuff http://www.albrex.com/flash.html Also something about Vortech apparently stole the internal design for their own 'charger.
