Red. Make sure you get the RPI decal. It really looks cool and stands out behind the grille. I've seen people staring at mine and wonder what it is exactly.

On a non-M car, only one scoop is functional?

yes correct, for non-M e60s, 2 scoops are functional for the V8s with Dinan intake, or a custom setup like the link member theXman posted above.
BTW, scoops in stock

I like the black scoops. If you had one installed on each side, then maybe red would be okay. Having one red one looks distracting to me and takes away from the look of the car. You have a beautiful car and your eyes are drawn to this odd red thing behind the grill. That's just not what I want people to be looking at on my car.
