Got mine from Nerwyll at Trinity in RED for my white e60. I can notice better gas mileage at higher speeds also and also a little bit of a punch at higher speeds also. Looks pretty badass through the matte black grilles too!

Any concerns when it rains? Will it carry more rain water to the air filter?

I live in PR and a Tropical storm is passing by and we are having heavy rain. No problem with the scoop so far.
