Stage -1

A 5.4L Mercedes Benz supercharged motor ("55" Kompressor) that is suffering from the dreaded I/C pump failure. Common on early production years, this allows BMW M's to thrash their Mercedes rivals, causing depression and despair among fellow 55 Kompressor car owners.

I was driving that Stage -1 E55, that's why I just lost to that stock BMW M.
