Let me first get this out of the way - I enjoy my 530. I think it is a great car, rides and handles beautifully and is very well put together. That being said, however, the acceleration leaves a lot to be desired (in comparison to my previous car - 04' MB E500). Hence, I was curious if anyone had experience or knowledge of a "trustworthy" supercharger for the e60 530. My concern, for obvious reasons, is the reliability for the engine as well as the transmission and any other negative effects it may have on the car.
So, if anyone can recommend any superchargers out there for my car, I would be extremely grateful! Thanks.

Yes, there is a supercharger for that engine. We have a guy in our club (BMW Club of Finland) who at least had a E39 530i with a charger.
This car (and driver) won almost all our race track competitions.
I have to try to find out what kind of blower he has. The car seems to work great also in everyday driving!
