Yep, got it on my 545i... best performance upgrade ever! No issues, no error codes, no maintenance necessary, and great customer support from ESS. You get a massive increase in power without the added insurance costs associated with fast cars. Gas mileage goes down a little though (about 2mpg's less) but it's still more efficient than the M3 and M5's. I highly recommend this supercharger

The quoted 7 lbs of boost is meant for manual and SMG 545i's... for automatic they recommend toning it down to 5-5.5 lbs of boost so you don't ruin the transmission.

Man it probably does wonders to the acceleration of the 545i...and the LSD is just icing on the cake. With these two mods alone the 545i might truly become an M-slayer. Any 0-60 times jjsigpi?

I'm sure it'll be nicer than an M5 around town, but not faster on the track.

But probably faster in the everyday driving - because of the torque.
