IMHO not worth your money. the total cost would be about double the price of the cams. if you want performance and for only around 3k ++ , go get a performance tuning for your engine and steptronic gearbox. for engine tuning, you may try ESStuning or hiop (cantact calvin tan). these will easily net about 10% increase in power and more useable rev range. to fully maximised your performance tune, go for a steptronic performance tuning as well, about 2k++, this will reprogram your gearbox with a better shift, ESStuning and dinan has them. both tuning will cost less than the cams+labour. your butt will definately feel this more than the above as well.  albundy, he cant use those cams. those are meant for EURO s50 engine and not US s50/m50/s52/m52 engines. euro s50 has a diferent head and double vanos cams setup. unless he has a complete euro s50 head bolted to his m52 block, he cant use these cams at all. ramsing, schrick has the 264/256 too. infact they can even custom made any cam for you, like a 244/256 for SC application. anyway the 264/256 is too aggressive for daily street use hence most would recommend the milder setup. our standard cams are rated at 240/228 so the milder ones are already a big jump and FYI, putting those aggressive cams is only applicable or when you drive your car like a bike, reving the engine to redline all the time as thats where the higher spec cams will perform. for a normal daily drive, putting those aggresive cams in your car will cause a massive drop in you useable torque and a shitty idle and fuel economy gone due to a inefficient engine. F1 cars have 800hp, but try having it tow a kancil from stand still and it cant even move.hmm i have a slightly larger than "alpina527" spec bbtb and bbASCtb and m50 intake as well but its all done locally. dont see a need to pay all the extra money in shipping charges. so do i count as part of it?</blockquote>
