What? You can get RPI sticker?
I put the white sticker on my airbox and scoop, and the black one on my laptop

Thanks for the info. But it would be cool if you also added in, it adds XXHP and XXtorque.. Or maybe direct me and others to the website with more details.
Anyway, if it only helps at 60+ mph I don't see how this is useful or a must have mod.. could someone enlightened me?

I don't have the RFI scoop but lots of members do and seem to like them a lot.

This simple redirector of airflow appears to be a near zero net cost item to BMW during manufacturering. Puzzling why over the past 10 years or so of German engineering and testing it has not been brought into the mainstream...

True... and BMW's are made for high speed. My sisters C230 Kompressor has a scoop STOCK.

Will a RPI scoop work for me? I have a 2004 BMW 535d. My air intake is behind the kidney grills, but not on the driver's side. It's on the right side as you stay in the car, left side as you look at the car from the front. Most of the scoops I've seen here seem to be on the driver's side. Is there one that fits my car? Has anyone installed one on a diesel engine? How does it work?
