don't know abt that, Huffy BMXs are made from Chrome Moly so are worth a lot 
hey look on the bright side, if you have just spent USD8000 on a rolex, will it tell the time better than
a USD2000 tag??

But like i said, it does everything you want it to do. Thus a successful mod!

not but a rolex says BALLLER and your intake doesnt say much because 99% of the people wont see it.

to each his own. if i had ass loads of cash i still wouldnt buy this intake. But you did and you like it, so it doesnt really matter. If it looks sweet, and adds performance then its done its job. Its job shouldnt of been impressing a tough crowd of this forum. Congrats on your new mod, lets move on.

They seems enjoy this debating 
Joke aside, Alpine White Girl made very good point, if you like it, it doesnt really matter,
Many people spent thousand bucks on the 20/21" wheels, does it worth it? Nah for me but if they are happy, thats the most important thing.

opinion taken, so everyone who has paid for an intake or filter or other mod is pointless?? you seem to rubbish the 530i
why??? you can goto your F1 forum if you want, but don't mention that modding an E60 530i is pointless as that means
you will pss every modder off
every hp counts and we enjoy it, so don't break the bad news to everyone about our slow 530s et al
in HK its only for looks,sounds and some spritely runs we have small roads and the police are on top,
530i, well in hk reaches 0-60mph is 6.5secs before the mods, so not sluggish,
i think they have diff specs to the US
+ the fuel here costs USD1.75/litre which sucks
F1, do you mean real Formula 1? then thats more than interesting, if not forget it,what have you done F1 style to your car???

just kidding.For me any thing that is over 2.5l in HK is wast of time, but that only me.
530 is much faster than my 525, I have tried many of them with different mods.
So in the end it dose not matter what car we own as long as the end user is happy with what they got and mod.

Exactly, that's why I said it's just toys in the beginning. You like it and it's toy, you don't and it's just overpriced rubbish.

FI = Forced Injection
I would ditch the $2,000+ intake and put that towards a FI setup. Which is what the 530i needs, to keep up with all the higher hp cars. Yes I think the 525i and 530i are slow, sorry my opinion. They are nice driving midsize cars that get good gas mileage, not hp monsters.
