I think the M side vents look HOTT!!! But do they do anything? Cool the car or anything like that? I see them on ebay, but figure it would look ghetto to add has anyone on this site done it?

I wouldn't do it.
they help cooling the engine. When you open the hood of a 545 you almost burn your fingers. So the Emmy gets real hot...

My M coupe had the first M side vents and they were purely cosmetic.? I also thought they were cosmetic on E46 M3.? Makes me think they will be cosmetic also on new E60 M5. Just for looks....
