That is one of the premises that the aftermarket sector uses to set their prices, the supposed wealth of prestige car owners. I wish I were one of them, but I'm having to struggle to put this M5 into my garage. I bought my first BMW in 1969, a 2002 model which cost $3,600 brand new!! Just slightly more than the intake from GruppeM with some bits of carbon fiber and two K&N filters....... Makes us older types a little less tolerant of the prices these aftermarket companies foist on us. It seems they think we're stupid as well. If you value the looks of your engine bay enough to spend thousands of dollars with no appreciable gain in horsepower, who am I to say no? If I had the extra money with no better use for it, I'd do the same, it is a good looking system.
