John, i don't see why the LCI scoops can't fit pre-lci's. Can you ask Eloy when you bring in your car if it's possible to make the scoops fit both pre-lci and lci models? This way we can have more people to join the GB!!!

there was a giant flame war on whether these are actually beneficial or not, but at a few bucks and 30 min install, theres really no lost imo

But Eloy hasn't had a chance to fit it on a 545i and 550i. I'm too far (in Texas) to drive down to SoCal for a fitting. So I was wondering if we can get some 545i and 550i volunteers in SoCal for a test fitting with RPI. Please PM me for details. I'd really appreciate your help

I will say that the RPI scoops make a HUGE difference. I don't know what it is, but once I hit 70mph, drop it down a few gears, the car just takes off. It's pretty sweet.

John, I just spoke to Eloy this afternoon regarding fitting on a 545i / 550i. As you've posted, he's able to fit it on LCI's with minor modification. He has also managed to fit it on Nerwyll's 530i.
