aaaaaannnnnnddd pics. apologies for a dirty e60 and not a pro photographer. i promise it will be fresh for saturday, will be visiting vic on friday.
sorry, unable to get a picture of the inlet further in to the side.
from the side in my opinion, the ac schnitzer fills out more of the front.
i would definitely recommend this mod, the rpi air scoop. but i would recommend it along with a remap. and with the remap, mix octanes
but even before i mixed the 100 with 91, i could feel a difference with the 91 alone in the tank. my e60 pulled a little harder at top end. only thing is that releasing the accelerator and shifting in M mode at times, it feels sluggish. may be the air/fuel ratio messing around as eloy said. but well worth mod.
thanks for checking it out.
