In a situation like this, I can see how this can be a good investment...
The better way to make a sleeper is to buy a 04-07 545-550i then just put a 525i badge on it, thats the way to have a sleeper for about $20 (Price of 525i badge)vs $10,000

It was an expensive lesson but at least you can walk away with a usable car that you can enjoy instead of a constant headache and money pit. Is RRT refunding anything on the install or is AA compensating you considering they were unable to get the product to work? I would hope so as I'm sure it wasn't your idea to walk into RRT and say put an e46 supercharger on your e60, they obviously had confidence that they could get it to work on your application. Either way at least its off and you can still use the car
Wow I know its way too late to answer this but I never wanted to look back on this thread because I was so upset of the outcome. No, they refused to give me back the money for the labor even though it was their fault. They told me everything was fine and that it would work but that was obviously not the case. Thank you for your condolences and I hope you are happy to hear I got a 550i. So my need for speed is back!

Got the 550i and I am SOOOOO happy with it!

Thankfully everything was fine and I sold the car to a friend of mine who knew of everything she has been through. i would have felt bad if I had sold it to a random person.

I am sure you would have felt really bad. I would however like to thank you for giving us an opportunity to learn from you.

Thanks to you and thanks to the 5 series Forums

Now I am sitting here reading this and it was my pleasure to try this mod out and teach everyone on this forum a lesson. It was my first and last MAJOR mod that I would do to any of my cars. I did not do my research and I accept full responsibility, but it didnt help when AA told me that it would work from the getgo. Thank you for the kind words!
