e55 driving like my e350
Ive noticed low power in my e55 since 2 days... when I am driving 800Km/h to 120km/h and I let go of pedal and push it back to the end i cant feel the supercharger... It feels like am driving a naturally aspirated engine. I drove it down from cold -1celcius montreal to miami 1 week ago and it was fine except 2 days ago and I can barelly hear that swift vaccum noise the supercharger does anymore. Whats up with it? and how much to fix thank you!

I changed mine this past summer and it fixed the car instantly. The fix is not that expensive nor that time consuming, it would be your best idea to start by replacing the pump.

Change supercharger belt as well. Belt could be cooked after the long drive if she was wearing to begin with. Takes under a minute to swap out if you are average handy with a wrench.
It does sound like classic pump though. I would swap both
