Pretty cool. However it's kind of misleading since supercharging an E60 is not street legal (at least in California). And what's up with the street racing "promotional" video? Pretty irresponsible company.

Probably not street legal in California in terms of smog compliance, but in regards to the racing videos, there wasn't a another car on the road so it appears the course was closed.

CTS-V's and other similar vehicles are emission certified for Ca. Tuners have to have their products approved by the smog Nazis before they can be street legal.

it still had alot of trouble beating a 535.......would have liked to see it against a 545 or 550........I mean if you gonna spend the money to supercharge or turbo a 530 it dam well better be faster than any stock big motor BMW out there!
