is it 04 530i?
because engine is differnt between 04 and 05 and theres supercharger only available for 04 not 05 and up.
but theres one available for 545

Damn i have an 05..there is nothing available. I cant use the 330i's supercharger because it is the same engine..It can be mounted elsewhere right?

Dude, the engines are the same in the 330i & the 530i.
dude look at what year those supercharger fit for 330i..
they are for older engines..NOT the same one as the new one...
also you cant just put same thing as 330i.. room space can be differnt ...
theres only supercharger available for 530i with same engine as 01 e39 up to 04 e60 530i..
if it is 05 530i that means it has 255hp N52 engine instead of M54 engine..
e39 had m54 engine and someone has supercharger with m54
if you have 225hp engine you can do it.. other wise you cant

No im pretty sure they changed the engine for the 530i in 2006..the 2004 and 2005 530's have the same engine as the 02+ 330's up to 2005 i believe
