Checkout AFE CAI. It should run you less than $400.

You might gain .5 a hp and gain 1-2mpg. BMWs intakes are designed very well and many people don't bother upgrading it, unlike Japanese cars. Don't expect too much from an intake. If you want real performance, save up for some headers or something.

Too bad there isnt any CAI for the 545i. Unless someone has modded to fit.
