Bit of a debate with someone about whether the supercharger on his 550 is a factory option or not.
No. He may be thinking of the Alpina B7 which was a 750i that was supercharged. It's the same engine. That's the closest to factory supercharged you can get. But BMW's history is with turbos for forced induction.

Correct. There was never a factory equipped supercharger on a 550.

That's what I assumed. Couldn't find any mention of one. Thanks!
