+1 I got mine in black, was going to go red but since it's only on one side I think its looks off without the other scoop, if I had the dinan dual air intake I would maybe get 2 scoops in red though. In black the scoop is barely visible which I like because sometimes water drops and bugs stain the scoop making it hard to clean behind the grills thus in black it is alot less noticeable to see.

I say "go red!"
It's not that ostentatious
- you have to look up-close to see it
and
you can show it off to your friends if you want

Hmrrm, never even thought about bugs on the scoop. I wonder if those bastards disrupt the air flow cusing losses in POWHA!!!!

Bugs aren't an issue - remember that your intake is a stock option...BMW already thought about that, as did RPI

I don't have a RFI hood scoop (leased car). But the red ones look much more dramatic IMHO.

also, almost positive RPI does not make a hood scoop, a ram air scoop for sure tho

Yes, I understand that the RPI scoop functions with the ram air concept (which was popular during the era of American muscle cars). Must juice the highway passing power a bit.

If I owned an M5 or M6, I would def have the red. But since it's only one scoop for me, black it is.
