Just because a product doesn't work on one car doesn't mean all their products are crap. Thats like saying because BMW made one bad car all the other are bad too. Infact here is a quote from that thread

So I decided to sack up and throw down the $$$ to be the guinea pig for this one.

It seems to me that the only guys that are having trouble with this intake are the e60 guys. You don't need to go around like Paul Revere posting in every AFE thread saying that there products sucks. I posted my "feel and hear review" to give my take on the intake. I even said in my "feel and hear" that I didn't know if it made power or not but I posted that review to share my take on the intake. Also I said that the stock intake scoop needs to be replaced. To me this is the biggest bottle neck in getting fresh air to either the stock intake or the AFE. With out getting rid of this bottle neck you right in that the AFE will suck in warm air. Mostly becuase with the stock up turned intake scoop (don't know how it is on the e60) does a horrible job or getting air to the filter. RPI proved this by making there scoops and showing that this was a large bottle neck with dyno runs.
Oh here is a picture of what must be the most expensive "hot air intake" of all time.... but what does BMW know when making intakes?
