Only found one for the 545, would it work for the 550?

Call up BMW parts and find out if the 545i and 550i have the same air cleaner element part number. That should tell you.

I am not a big K&N fan. I would just remove the charcoal filter element which is for emissions and it will give you more flow.

The best would be the Dinan CAI and throttle body.
