You'll have to let me drive it a bit more, so far it has been nothing but driving around town. 
But later, I get some freeway driving and a couple of winding roads, THEN I should know more!

So did you feel the change?
It's not a huge difference at low speeds (predictably), it has the feel of driving away after doing the 25 second transmission reset, in that it just goes MUCH more smoothly! As the RPM's start to climb, it feels stronger, and for $100, it's a GREAT mod!! For those on the fence.......JUST DO IT ALREADY!!

The car seems to have a more eager feel to it, it feels smoother and more responsive too!

Order number 203.
Does the scoop come with the RPI logo painted on it? I noticed that on the 545/550 scoop's picture that they don't have it painted like the M5's.

All the logos are vinyl and are put on when the scoops pass our QC. The stickers are ONLY put on after each scoop is checked. You were charged the GB price of $179+tax since we are in CA as well. On your invoice, it should say e60 GB discount and has the shipping price taken off. Sorry about the confusion. Let me know if there is anything else I can do or any other questions you may have.
