My Ride: Black 2006 BMW 530i with sport and prem package, staggered 124 wheels, 50% tint, AC Schnitzer aluminum pedals, black interior w/ alum trim set, M style body kit and sound upgrade: Alpine PDX-5, PXE-H660, sub, MBQuart speakers.
Installed the scoop and BMC filter. Also removed the charcoal filter. I noticed a slight improvement so I guess it works, of course just 5-7 HP tops.
It was a pain to remove the first grill, that last clip was stubborn and had to be careful not to brake it. Anyway, after removing it I decided to get some black grills, i have already ordered them and while I wait for the delivery I'm driving without grills, don't want to put the old ones on and have to go thru the hassle of removing them again.
Shopping for a chip tunning now.... don't know what else to do to give this machine some more power...
