My Ride: 2007 550i, Mystic Blue over Auburn, 6-Manual, Sports, Premium, Cold Weather, Logic 7, Nav, Sirius, MTec Front & Sides with M5 rear apron, VIS Penta carbon fiber vented hood, OEM M166s, (or Style 101M with winter 19 Blizzaks), BMW Blue Calipers, Custom Quad Exhaust and M5 side grills, trunk finisher and spoiler. Rogue Octane SSK/WSR and Zeckhausen CDV, BMW illuminated shift knob, Delivered 4/26/06 - Ordered 3/18/06 from Otto's (the Best) BMW Dealership.

This might be known but was a surprise to me- Since they don't list a 550i replacement filter yet I've been registered on the K&N website for product information for new installations. A buddy of mine in Kansas has an '06 550i and he ordered the replacement for the '05 545i and it's an identical part despite the airbox being shaped differently.

I did the same and it popped right in as a perfect fit. K&N part number 33-2294 for $49 on eBay. Sounds more throaty above 3k and lasts a 100k miles.

No more waiting.
