Exactly. It's still hard to believe it's taken this long for another option (direct bolt-on). There's surely enough demand for more than one option. Hell, feels like most of the other chasis all have multiple options for reasonable prices.

Yea. Kinda sucks for us f10 N55 Guys. But I believe since the OBD flashing is now available that many more people will be modding them. Therefore more options and mods I hope will soon to become available

For the F10 N55 there is only one FMIC that fits this car at the moment. Wagner FMIC ....and its $900.

Even if VRSF did come out with an intercooler it would probably be close to same price as the Wagner FMIC at $900.
They said 2-3 weeks in June....

And I sent Thiago a PM this morning asking him about the release date, but have not heard anything from him.

As much as I hate to spend $900 on an intercooler I don't think I can wait any longer on VSRF to release their unit.

I was told 2 weeks about a month ago. I'll give it another couple of weeks and then I'll have to figure something else out.

I asked also but got a reply 2-3 weeks again... I just installed Wagner Intercooler... I was shocked how it's behind the radiator though...

Have you noticed any performance increase? After receiving a PM from Thiago I think I am going to wait out for the VSRF intercooler.

Slight power increase but Power is more CONSISTENT and engine feels happier.

Im thinking of selling an fmic system. Im currently working with a factory for a limited run. Will be silver or black depending on interest. It will be a one time deal and will cost approx 500 600 and will be comparable to wagner kit. Would ppl be interested?

And I'm pretty sure these are BMW strings with a half inch chopped off the top..... I feel like the car is more bounce email them when I had the stock Springs on..... I switched my Springs from eibach Pro 2 dinan in because I saw it my car was too low and the wheel was rubbing on the fender well.... Huge mistake I just bought oversized tires for my 20 inch wheels.... Good thing I didn't throw out the eibach Springs... I'll surely be putting them back on soon.... My Beamer never felt better.... Anything but DINAN... waste of money.....

So we are now in mid October and VRSF has been giving times and it is still not available. This thread was started in JUNE! I have been patiently waiting as i'm sure many of you are for some public release or any real timeline on this F10 intercooler. What gives! Poor communication with the market and customers in a sure way to lose customer base.

If you want to buy an intercooler get the Wagner Tunning which works as advertised (according to people that have it and analyzed IAT temps).

Yeah, I've been patient and literally waiting over a year. I'd have thought he'd at least put a press release or teaser post or something out about it, at least mention it publicly. It kind of feels like we're being strung along, as to prevent us from buying from Wagner anytime soon, with no proof of what's being developed.

At this point, as soon as I can afford the Wagner, I'm going for it. Definitely not waiting on VRSF anymore.

That may be my route if VRSF doesn't answer soon. If they had followed thru and communicated they would have at least 10 that I know of sold. But they didn't so they went to Wagner.
