I bought an RPI scoop from another member on this board who used them on his 2008 550i. He said it would fit any E60.
When I start to install it, it does not fit. Basically it doesn't go in smoothly and seems to be blocked by the metal bar that goes across and part of the bumper. Are these scoops the same across the board? Can someone point me to an RPI Scoop install for the 535i specifically? I can't seem t see any proper pictures of these scoops from any vendors who sold them since they all use the same blardy templated pictures for any RPI Scoop basically. |
they are all the same. i orginall had that problem but i went ahead and installed it anyways. when i was done i realized thats they way it is supposed to. just go ahead and install it, take a step back and then take a look

the scoop for the 550 is a different design. the scoop for the 525, 530, 528, and 545 are the same. for the 550, the arm is bent specifically in a sort of U-shape opening to the right.

I bend them as needed and got it shoved in there. Now I am worried if the screws will ever get loose? The double sided tape it came with was pretty much useless after it was taken off by the previous owner |

No probs! I think it works too just that the flap is screw further down :-) Is the scoop loose and moves a little such that its springy? |
Did u have any issues with the scoop? Did u just bend the mounting arm and then It's basically the same part?
