Sounds interesting. Ill be excited to see when you finish. I just recently purchased an M5 down in Arkansas last week. Good to see that youre one of the few on here who owns one. Forced induction on the S62 will be somthing else. Goodluck!

Anything is possible! Good luck man!!

E39 M5 is still my favorite BMW.

What?  An Update?  Holy crap!!

These FINALLY came today:

Still waiting on the tank and pump.  Ordered a bunch of REALLY expensive stuff from VAC, probably another couple weeks before delivery on that.

fancy!

[Brian.]

finally done with R&D? YAY! install them asap!

[Earl]

Take those helpers out. They garbage=P

[REKIII]

I was surprised to see them in there to tell you the truth.  The only thing I can think is he wanted to make sure the spring stays seated together in the hat.

I will ask whe nI give him a ring to get the start up process squared away.

My new clutch FINALLY came in.  I ordered this thing at the beginning of summer.  Slight weight savings over stock.

Damnit didn't realize the display was flashed out.  Pretty sure it was 56.4lbs.

Beautiful! Who made that clutch for you?

[REKIII]

VAC Motorsports.  The tripple disc part and TB are Tilton pieces.

[Brian.]

That thing looks meaty! Bet it'll grab like a mother fucker!

[Earl]

Robert you are THE man!

[REKIII]

I don't know about 'The' Man.  I thought my clutch was pretty cool until I saw your Film Car.

[Earl]

I think they're equally cool but for different reasons

[KaiserRolls]

rekiii, do you still have your crazy awesome motorcycle?

[REKIII]

Yes.  It is sort of apart.  Still has issues i can't figure out, and no time to work on it.

[B C]

The difference in clutch weight is unreal O__O

It was a nice enough difference going from 19lb to 13 or so lb on my flywheel but you have moved the mass inboard as well. 

I want to rev your motor.

sounds slightly homo-erotic

[REKIII]

Too many issues.  Sadly, they probably will never be resolved.  But the good news is that I've now defined a place to burn on my yard.  I have a large pile of trees and shrubs I took down. Rolling the bike into that pile and lighting her up won't be too tough.
