My Ride: 2006 M5 Silvertone /Aluminum Trim
2008 550i blk/blk - Sold
Hello all,
sharing a bit of innovation for those of you who don't know about RPi Scoops. I've been away from this forum and on m5board - but the site is getting crowded and slow.
This is the best mod available for the beast.
The ram air scoops are available in red, black or brushed aluminum.
- 2007 M6 test (+12whp)
- 2006 M5 test (+10whp)
- 2008 M5 test (+16whp)

What?
Are there any pics of them installed on a car? Red would be hideous behind the grill...

Humm interesting... I guess I'll have to see in person. but I thought it would look bad with two red things behind the grill... with all those pics of the M6 you would think there would be 1 pic taken directly face on.

There's more than 30 M5 owners out there with the RPI, its the best mod per dollar so far and with free dyno test. Like I said I've been at the "other" board too long and wanted to share this with anyone here.
Again this site is so much faster, and a bit more mature.

The scoops are like ram air intakes and feed the cold air from the grilles into the air filters. It's similar to Dinan's Ram-Air Intake for the 330i.
