I'm considering ordering an RPI scoop (already have the filter). Is it worth $99 and will I really feel or hear any difference without other mods such as an exhaust? Thanks.

Sound won't change. The last time I was on the highway, you could tell a difference. Plus, it just looks sick!

comine from an n52 530i like yourself, I can attest to its benefit. Much more so on the freeway at speeds above 50

i dont remember if it helped or not. But the car certainly can pull away from an e46 M3 . Also pulled from a G37. G37s are NOT slow. I remembered they were slow when I was driving a CLK55 AMG but with a 545i, they seem fast. LOL
