The big question I have is what will this supercharger do to the already uneven weight bias (59% front, 41% rear) ???

How badly will this hunk of metal hurt the handling characteristics?

I am all for the supercharger, and especially if it gives me M5 whipping speeds.. But my worry is that our cars are very finely tuned to deal with the engine up front.

I'd like to hear from knowledgable people about what this could do in terms of negative handling consequences.

If that could be proven to be insignificant, and if there is some kind of warranty, I would buy one in a hurry.

Of course getting it to the USA would be another challenge.

Do you Euro owners already have viable ECU options for this car?
