best intake setup for the e60s would be the RPI scoop with an aftermarket filter, a package is available with the BMC air filter. and many have removed the charcoal filter as well. we have the scoops in stock btw 
There are so many on the market now.

work in an dynamic way,
i'm not sure if it really pushes a lot of air into the airbox, as if you are driving fast the air is
being pushed on the front of the car anyway, it sure looks good in red.
with the Gruppe M, it sucks the air in, RAPIDO, and you can hear it hissing
even when the car is stationary ,
towels will get sucked in if you aren't careful.

wow does Gruppe M substantiate their claims with dyno results? what is the price difference?
but here is one on a M3
http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=225002
i don't think its a sponsored dyno.
if you consider the engineering and the cost and weight of the cf do the maths
its not rocket science.
Gruppe M prepare for racing teams etc,. and are trusted to be fitted to ferrari,lambos etc,.
i think it is more about the sound and enjoyment!!!
