    They don’t make a VF kit for the 840

    There is an M62 kit that could be fitted if you fabricate new mounting points.

    Mounting brackets, induction piping, different belt than the one supplied, can’t use the tune. Really nothing from that kit is useable. You’re better off just buying a Vortech V3 from Summit Racing or something and just building your system ground up.

    Hi Sherwin,
    Your post above has alot of conflicting statements if you know what I mean...
    VF kit from a E39 can be fitted but requires mods, then comes the question of smog test.
    Your best bet is to find a dinan e34 kit and retrofit it. It will come with carb stickers for you to pass smog.
    I will be helping someone install Dinan kit very soon.

    ESS tuning has a plug in play one for 540 that should work just fine

    Sherwin,

    I have an extra E34 540i/6 with a Vortech V2 supercharger. Not opposed to selling entire car if your are interested, I live in Irvine. PM me if interested. I can recommend Steve with OC Motorsports in Lake Forest for a 6 speed swap.
