I will say this.... The RPI scoops on my car make a HUGE difference. I've driven a stock version of my car and you can absolutely tell the difference, especially when you're doing 60-70mph and you let loose. I also had the AFE Intake on my older 530 and it didn't do anything but sound great. Hahahahaha!

Your car is loud? I couldn't tell. So, not only is your car slow it's quiet too?

Alright, Due to the uproar of the AFE HAI is causing I tried to make myself an appointment with the ONLY AWD dyno setup in my town and see this loss for myself. I was told that it would be impossible to dyno my 2007 530xi due to the fact that it is automatic. I was told by a member that what the guy who told me this was incorrect. I was told by the member here that all need to do is start in 4th gear and punch it before it hits the kickdown. (till it almost redlines) Will this work for my car? I dont want to go back to him and argue with him on how to do his job.
