You can probably add an aftermarket air filter, usually good for 3-5hp. But nothing you can really "feel".

Now if you don't mind voiding your warranty...

On N/A engines, the simple bolt on mods will not do much. The price/horsepower ratio is not worth it. Turbocharged engines are a total different story.

I know quite a few people who got it for their E39 M5s and were VERY pleased with it.

It's not worth your money... I've thought about it in the past but it's too expensive for what you get out of it. However, there really isn't much available on the market in regards to aftermarket mods for the e60... I'm waiting for companies like rogue engineering to come out with pulleys or gruppe m with a cai.
