I'm doubtful you'll find anyone in the auto-forum world that has done this...however, i encourage to continue your search and let us know what you discover. I say this as a friend and myself searched high & low for forced induction back when the 4.8iS was first released. We were told by Dinan, ESS, and other smaller/indy tuners that the 4.8iS system was under research and details would soon follow...this was 2005 i believe.

We followed up with Dinan and others...they spoke of the success they had with the 4.6iS but they were no longer pursuing development for the 4.8iS. Even the indy tuners stopped showing interest. We took their word for it at the time but now i'm curious as to why exactly they lost interest.

As an alternative to the new release X M's...i'm more interested in the V10 from the E60 tuned by Dinan with a custom trany...tucked neatly into the shell of an E53 iS model

Happy hunting!

All too familiar...pardon my pessimism. If they're beyond research and seriously pursuing development, this time around, there's no better time than the present.

They probably gave up but because the X5 is such a fragile beast.

The post is only 3 months old, so I hope (for them) that they have something to show soon :-)

This is still in development. The link in first post was broken as ESS updated their website. I have fixed the link now.

Coming Q2 2011.

keep our finger crossed.. the ESS sales replied with a vague answer that I should check their website for any product updates. So hopefully it'll be Q2 2011 :-)
