Well...After a countless search and have come up with nothing. 
I have installed the sprint booster. 
Check! I have installed a AFE inatke. Check! Didnt really plan on buying those parts, but thanx to you guys I just had to have it. 
God damit i want a supercharger!! Anyone here knows a well reputated store which sells 530xi model supercharger kit??? I was thinking VF engineering but have came to my own conclusions they sell superchargers for 530i models. Plaese can anyone help!

Yep, I think VF Engineering is the only supercharger on the market that is specifically designed for e60's... PM John@eurorev (eurorev.com) or Nerweezy (trinityautosport.com) for more info... sorry I couldn't be of more assistance but I looked into this also and this is all I found...

Thank alot guys!! Thats what i have been running into aswell. That their is no supercharger for a I6 Vavletronic engines . 
I'll pm eurorev and trinity and see what they got for me. Alothough, remapping is not something i have not heard of before, I am quite confused on the subject. ECU flash, piggy backing, and remmaping. Can you guys explain what these mean, or really what they do. I would like something that if i do have to bring it into the dealrship that i wouldnt have to send my ecu out to get fixed again everytime. I NEED MORE POWER.

The problem with the Remap is that I'm worried that the next time I bring my car to the dealer for servicing they might reset my ECU. The remap can go as much as $600 if not higher I believe so I would be pissed if this happens. Of course, if your car doesn't have a warranty anymore then you wouldn't have to worry about the BMW people doing this... this is just my hesitation but maybe I'm wrong and they won't reset it if you tell them?
