There soon will be an available VF Engineering supercharger for your ride. That will give you some serious power. Anything else is marginal.

Welcome to the best e60 forum in the world.
1. change the air filter to K&N. or
2. get the carbon fiber air intake with a new air filter.
3. if your car is the old engine like my, then get the super charge.
I thing not to get is the chipmod, wast of money

welcome. hmm cheap just get the k&n air filter and remove the charcoal filter (if you have it). you can also do exhaust and chip if you want. supercharger would be sick when it comes out.
