Anchor Steam only comes in bottles.

Maybe there is some connection bewteen broken glass and a "D" badge

Steve,

You can take the leftover metal from the Anchor Steam cans, melt them down, and make your own Dinan badge for a lot less.

Again, there are a bunch of cam grinders that only need the specs and will grind a custom set from billets for a lot less.

Also seems to me that for that kind of $$ one could put a supercharger on the 840 and get much more hp gain for the $$ investment.

Then again, maybe 8 of us should bring ther other half along and do an 8 series getaway to Hawaii for New Years!!!

GregT

wow.....

Let'see that's also:
1) a downpayment on a M3 or Z3
2) 15.5 tourist class round trips to Hawaii
from SFO
3) 2 Valve and starter jobs on an 850i
4) 1,076.923 6 packs of Anchor Steam Beer
or
It might increase the 0-60 time by .5 second (that's just a guestimate)
However,
You WILL BE on your way to obtaining a "Dinan
Badge."

Dinan has one that increases ~35 HP. ~$7k installed at a local Dinan certified shop.
