I always wanted to make a second Air intake that connect to the AFE (that has lots of space and there are holes to enter in).
After I researched that there is an air duct for right side (M5 part) and I found it can fit perfectly on the 545i. After this I think it is very possible to make a second air intake. Like DINAN Intake plus it is fully reversible.
- 1 Part BMW : 13717790057 (Intake duct from M5) At the Dealer. $40

- Maybe the other parts needed such.... pipe, elbows, etc... All under $70-100ish....

The Installation of AIR DUCT (The M5 part):
Remove the Right Headlight. You will see the Tap and remove it.
then Install the Air duct. FULLY PLUG AND PLAY!!!
NOW it is just about the starting.....
