I'd like black. Gives it a sleeper cleaner look!

Red all the way!!!!!! Black absorbs more heat from the sun, thus increasing the temperature of the air ramming past it, decreasing POWER! So, for all those with black sorry, but us RED's have you beat in more ways than great looks.

((kidding of course, but hmmmmm, black would get hotter in the sun wouldn't it?)))

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
Ordered black(2nd scoop) then repainted both red to match color.
