It won't fit.. don't waste your money.. I bought the same one and it does not fit on mine. In addition, the seller will not reply you when you request for a refund.

You're most welcome.

Well, if you are looking for an intake.. wait for the dinan intake or Gruppe M. It should be out pretty soon..

If the Gruppe M for the E60 is priced anything close to their other intakes, it's gonna cost an arm and a leg.

What is it like $1000+? It does sound good on other models, but what are we paying for, the carbon fiber or the actual intake?

To start, DO NOT BUY EGAY CRAP, for your 5. If you want a good intake check with bavarian autosport.com, but if you want the best intake made go GRUPPE M. Yes, its big $$$, but then again you are not driving an Accord, so do it right.

For a Carrera it was something like $1,500. Looks like carbon fiber, but who knows. Total waste in my view.

Just because you're driving a car that's not inexpensive doesn't mean you should waste your money.
