for the M5, since there's dual intakes you're supposed to install 2 RPI scoops. Is this possible on a standard E60? and whether it offers any benefits? (however little)
I think frankly, it just looks really cool when you take a peek thru the grills and see two of these scoops.

Depends on what E60. For the V8 E60, you will need a Dinan High Flow Intake http://www.dinancars.com/store/product.php...=429&page=1 for the Dual RPI to work.
Or you can get the second RPI scoop and install it just for looks.

dknewyork is absolutely right. some people just get it for the looks, and they said look-wise its more balanced.

If it doesn't make you go faster, it makes you go slower!

2 scoops if you have a dinan intake...otherwise stick to 1 scoop IMO...if you put 2 scoops on without the dinan intake, you mind as well slap an M5 badge on your e60 as well
