Question!!!
Wont the supercharger affect the engine negatively? in a way that it ll over-load it and will get damaged easily in a while? or else the BMW would have done it with the M5 instead of a v10, no? just out of curiosity.
Btw, how much HP did u add to ur 545i? looking forward on ur mod![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)

a roots supercharger doesnt effect the engine negatively. it creates more boost and is still a naturally aspirated motor. something like turbos or nos would eefect the motor in a bad way if abused. if you get a supercharger with a high efficiency it works perfect. you must follow the breal in period and take care of your car as you would normally do. well with the chip, air intake exhaust and re-map, i have around 365 at the crank. when im done with the rest of the mods im looking at around 540-560 hopefully. i added a magnusun supercharger to my vette and i picked up 170 horses to the 400 stock. and with the exhaust and ram air intake its another 26 so im around 600 on my vette.

just be careful with your wheels. you can go 20" which is better but you cant stagger because you have xi model which has longer rear axles

Don't listen to the BS. I don't understand why people feel the need to diss others on this web site.
