A BMW re-manufactured one is £1068 with a £178 surcharge

A new supercharger from BMW is £1100

( I cant work that out either)

Used superchargers are £352.50

Fitting by us £188

If you haven't already you might as well fit a Alta V2 pulley £100 at the same time new belt £15

Id go for a Delivery milage Supercharger from Ebay...

bmw cooper s supercharger only delivery miles eaton m45 on eBay, also Engine Tuning Parts, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 31-Dec-07 20:00:00 GMT)

They normally go between £100 - £150 and then see 1320's to fit it along with a Alta pulley

Nice one Scott, I knew there was one other place

though they are not as plentiful as they were, I believe they have been making 175 + now which is still a bargain in comparison.

Thanks guys, il need to find somewhere to fit it nearer to me tho , the pulley sounds a good idea, always wanted to do that seems a good time seen as it has to come off anyway

thanks for your help
