Where's the love for LCI 535i owners?
Hey MacFly, do they have scoops available for our cars already? Did Eloy custom fit yours?

Alright guys, just got back from RPI, The scoop from the M5 fits perfectly for the 545 
Got mine put in while i was there and took the longer way back to work
,
There is definitely some difference after 50mph on the freeway and once you cross 70 the throttle response is completely different from before.
Also one thing i noticed was that it was holding the rpms better after 70mph
and if you shift down like calton mentioned make sure you have open road ahead of you because it just takes off.
I have to get a V1 now
Eloy is giving 40% off for the test fitters and he said the 545 single scoop will be up on the website for $99
