PS: I am purchasing one but I am looking a pro to install it here (Canada)...
This info is a bit wrong, because both automatic versions have 3.38:1 rear diff (545i has 3.77, 550i has 2.93), but i think the housing is the same, and since quaife doesnt affect final gear, this should be the right one. I checked my invoice, and the product code is the same.

Mr. Kevin Bird referred me to Mr Harold Lin at harold@hpautowerks.com. He holds stock and should have everything you need. He will need a VIN number from you to ensure he supplies the correct kit.

Oh, Kevin hasn't mentioned me for other suppliers and just mentioned hpautowerks.com Thanks to share!

Rizbel, are you ordering one?
I think it is the best mod of all.
