Everyone has either paid or in been in touch, so thank you!
@ClayGoo, or any others interested in hopping in? Now's the time!

All deposits received - and as of yesterday, we started the production process. I don't have an ETA yet but will keep the thread updated. We are hoping we don't run into any COVID-related delays, but all industries have been affected in some manner, so stay tuned.

Good to hear and thanks again for doing this! Surprised more people didn't want in. Maybe try the E39 forums too for the M62 owners.Originally Posted by BleedsBlue

Overall, there have been probably 10 folks asking for more pulleys since Batch 1 sold out a year+ ago. The issue is typically getting them all to buy-in at once, but it's ok - we've got enough to keep them affordable!
We've played with the M62, and unfortunately there are clearance issues and pulley diameter differences between the two motors. These are really just for M60s, specifically in the E34 chassis.

Thanks again for those who have provided deposits! It really helps us stay afloat and continue to support this community. In this case, to get the pulley price down to an acceptable price per unit, we're having to produce 25 - and only have 6 deposits/spoken for. I state this just to give you guys a sense of the financial burden we take on to produce low volume products. When we ask for deposits and try to increase buy-in, sure it helps us make more money, but at the same time it increases our volume capacity which has really just one benefit: lower cost for YOU, the consumer.
Production Update (added to Page 1 as well)
The pulleys are now officially in production. We expect them to be ready for anodizing the last week of August, which puts market availability around Labor Day.

Awesome! Thanks for the update! Hope more M60 owners jump on this.

Pulleys are going to laser etching this week for our logo and p/n, and we're stocking up on belts and install hardware as well. We're right on schedule!
Member
We're about ready to ship this coming week!
- Power steering pulleys are anodized and etched
- We're stocked on install hardware for both pulleys, water pump pulleys, and belts
- We're doing final pricing calculation and will update the website accordingly
We'll reach out directly to those with deposits from this thread to work out pulley kit option levels, the corresponding final payments, and shipping. I've updated the first page to indicate we have a lot more stock of these now.

Just got my set of pulleys this morning, thanks AA!
Member
Woot! Just let us know, privately or in the thread, how things go. Thank you sir!

Potential DIY write-up as well?
Member
Oh, we can for sure do that if the interest is there! The install is no different from a serpentine belt service, etc, but we will never turn down the opportunity to write up a thorough and cheeky install guide.
Shall we?
Member
As long as you promise it will be cheeky!

This is the way.
We have a plan to do an install on a car local to Denver, but I have to admit it will be a week or two minimum before that's done. If any customers have questions in the meantime, don't hesitate to get in touch via Instagram or our website contact form (which goes to our email).
