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?
Tom

I noticed my exhaust note sounded different too after the scoop install.

Awesome Tom! Which intake do you have - stock OEM or aftermarket?

Its best to use the stock air box as its a true cold air system. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60-m5-e6...yno-review.html

Hahaha, I know you all too well! The taco bell idea just sounded much better than too much protein or something.

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.

I went to order one for my 545i, and there were none available.

How long before they are available again?
