You didn't buy that white 550i? Scoop, exhaust, and chip sounds good. Plus, K&N filter/carbon filter delete.

I gained about 25 HP (stock 185HP) over stock with the RPi exhaust, RPi scoop, air filter and ECU remap.

The Ram air kit is a very popular item
- we sell a large number of them and our customers tell us that they are very happy with the performance enhancements
- won't affect your smog test negatively
- small price for the gains
- many start with the Ram kit and are so impressed that they add the pullies and exhaust

RPi continues to design products that increase volumetric efficiency with intake, exhaust, and cooling systems.

WHY OH WHY!?!?!?!

Don't you guys realize there are tens of thousands of 5-series out there that aren't M's? =\ M models make up like <1% of the BMW population. I would say 525's and 530's and 535's have the highest number sold which means you shouldn't count them out in your R&D. C'mon now. Marketing 101. I'm gonna start charging. RPi scoop please! <3

All jokes aside... I love your products!
