I dooubt this works.
It will probably just harm the engine.
I wouldn't try it.

Also, it is not for the E60, it's for the E39.

This mod WAS legit in the early days, especially if you had an aftermarket air intake. When I worked at Vauxhall\Opel I had an 89 Nova GTE and I spoke with our engineers (I was in R&D) and they gave me the technical explanation which was legitimate. They did the mod for me and it did seem to pick up a little power, but then again the GTE was only 100hp
