Hi everyone,
I finally got the BMS Power Box and Rpi Induction Kit and tried to fit them to my car... And I found that non of them will fit! It is so frustrating...
The PBX wont fit because I have a ECU which was installed to only few pre-2006 e60, I am so bloody unlucky.
As for Rpi, the scoop wont fit because I have kind of curtains between front grills and the readiator. I reckon those are used in climate control. Opened in summer and closed in winter. So there is no space for the scoop...
And I also recieved a wrong BMC filter...
I have EU e60 2004 530i...
Just wanted to share my frustration

They can be removed. It requires removing the whole bumper though. But I just dont want to do it cuz I think if it is there, it should be there and I will definately not make anything better by removing it in order to place this damn scoop...
By the way, I was so stupid when buying Euro Overlays. I totally forgot that I have a EU BMW

Wanker, you should have told me that before!
I returned all of them to sellers, so I will be getting refunds...
