Just got test fitted today for 08 LCI 550i. You can tell it makes a big difference! Seems faster and more responsive
on the freeway!
My quad exhaust seems a bit louder can it be the more air?

Thanks for the orders guys. Scoops are running out so those of you on the list should order from the link.
http://shoprpi.com/index.php?cPath=21_22_26_35
Here are also the installation instructions for the 550. 530, 545 guys would follow the same instructions for the M5. The 550 scoops are slightly different.

How long before they are available again?
