Before I think of getting a supercharger. I'll rather use that money to buy an 06 550i.

Correct, there are no kits for 06-07 525/530 cars, the engines can't handle it.

+1 that is why BMW went back to all aluminum engine block when they added turbo in 6 cylinder engine in 2008(535I)

N52 is probably one of the most reliable BMW engines. Also, I guess you can still get 300HP out of the N52 by doing this:

I believe this turns your 3.0l into a 3.2l with 300hp.
