RPi Air Scoops. Recognized it immediately. Yours is more stealth though because you took off the RPi logo on the scoops.

Looks amazing - man, makes me think if it was the right thing to go with the cobalt blue mod on the mod.

@RPiM5, stealthy because of the caliper blue mod. But since I had Eloy at RPi do it, the logo is on there ;-)

Is there a consensus on how much, if any, power the scoops make? I had them on my E60, but don't know if it added much.

My butt dyno told me yesterday that there is a slight difference starting at about 55mph. The problem is, there is no real way to test it ;-)

There are videos somewhere on YouTube proving the Air Scoops on the E60 M5 work, with one E60 M5 bone stock racing another E60 M5 with Air Scoops. The video clearly shows the Air Scoop M5 pulling on the stock M5. For the F10 M5, no one has yet to make such a video.

Try the LCI grilles first. They will make your scoops pop a lot more.

It would be very hard since our cars are so inconsistent even stock for stock.
My traps didnt change at all after the mod so I suspect they just sit there and look pretty.
