Cmon redwhiteblue. There are many of us 530i owners out there that also want a supercharger and you are the only person that I know that has one installed, we just want some pictures to look at it, not to prove that you are right or wrong. We are all enthusiast on here so we just want more information on this type of product. Also, do you get your servicing done at the dealer bc I just want to know his reaction to having a supercharger on a leased car. Thanks

LOL! I was waiting for someone to say that. As much as I hate to say it, Congrats. I'm actually glad an American League team won it. It just shows how strong the AL is, over the NL. On a side note, you guys should pick up A-Rod while you're at it. Hahahahaha!
A-Rod is a prick. The worst thing about it, he could end up out here in SoCal on the Angels. I still remember his little bitch slap in the playoffs on his way to first and him yelling at a third baseman (can't remember what team) trying catch a fly ball while he ran to third. He is such a tool!

I don't know how BMW is going to feel when you go to turn in a leased car w/ a supercharger installed...
Why would you MOD a car that's not even yours?>
This just doesn't make sense...

Why not? For the 3 or 4 years that he does have the car, it will be unique and he will enjoy it more so that way. The mods can simply be taken off at the end of the lease, they're not permanent. It's not much different than those who purchase the car outright, mod it, and then take it all off 3 years down the road because they want another car.

It sounds good, but you have to think about it in terms of the dealers point of view. They have to CPO a car and sell it somebody else when you know that the engine has been strained. When I am buying a used car, I worry about some POS driving his car like he stole it and then me getting stuck with the long term problems. Since you lease a vehicle, it is not technically yours, you are just renting it for a few years. I don't know much about leasing a car, but correct me if I am wrong please. Thanks guys.
If for some reason he does strain the motor to the point where is fails while he has it under lease. He will be screwed, warranty will not cover it. Trust me the techs will know what happened, whether he takes the mods off or not.
