OMG! E39 M5 hood scoop available!
Who in their right mind would put one of these on their beautiful vehicle?
http://performance.drivewire.com/get...%20Accessories

No picture shown but I have one in my mind and it is not a pretty picture!

I like this part:
"Purchase your Bmw M5 Hood Vent from the same source as the Bmw M5 dealer using our state of the art ordering system."

Your local BMW dealer sells these???!!!
LMAO.

LOL. You got me!
Actually I was looking for a fan clutch replacement when I saw this under "accessories" at that website.
Considering a twin electric fan mod as alternative to the stock fan clutch...

I love the fact their their ordering system is state of the art... but the parts aren't.

When I go shopping for M5 Mods, the most important thing to me is that the Ordering System is top notch...

Next in line is that the stickers are colorful. And the box is pretty. And the website has lots of Flash animations... and then down at 47th priority is that the Mod is useful.

JMHO: Hood scoops are cool. Especially when driving through a big vat of ice cream... Mmmmm... ice cream... What were we talking about?
