Check out this thread.

I think he busted the new supercharged engine, not his bored to 6.0 liter one. You can see the V8 kompressor badge on the car. His 6.0 one was a 2001.

If you read the thread, it is the 2001 E55, not the current supercharged motor, he just put badges on his car.

That didn't sound healthy at all, it shook very bad too, I wonder if he'll be able to get a block and rebuild it?
