I cant seem to find true cold air for e60

Do you already have an exhaust system? The thing with engine mods is that, a single mod to the engine won't create gains that you will notice. If you do the intake, you'll probably have to do a cat back exhaust to get noticeable gains. If you want to do an intake system, the AFE intake seems to be popular. Contact Joe at Trinity Autosports, his ID on this forum is r1racer. Every Korean on this forum that lives in Cali seems to rave about him, Trinity, and the prices!

Sounds like Hyundai is getting somewhere -- they just need to rebadge as a luxury brand just like Toyota did with Lexus (BTW, I STILL THINK Lexus is nothing but an expensive Toyota)....

What Hyundai is trying to do is, improve the image of the Hyundai brand through the Genesis. When Toyota created Lexus, Toyota already had a 'good' brand in North America and other regions. Before Hyundai jumps into the luxury 'brand' arena, they need to improve the image of Hyundai as a maker of not just good cars, but cars that can compete with the big names from Europe and Japan. If Hyundai were to create a luxury marque now, they would probably fail. Starting a couple of years ago, Toyota decided that the brand Lexus and Toyota would have no overlap in terms of the car offered. In terms of their core products now, Lexus only has one car that overlaps with Toyota and that is the RX350 which overlaps with the Harrier. This will also change with the introduction of a new RX late this year or early next year.

That's true. But I still remember Toyota being shit when they made Lexus... LOL... But i agree, step by step and they're on the right path.
