pull the CF's and get a pair of RPI scoops. I want the evosport pulleys as well, but do not want to underdrive other essential components. I am being a wuss, I know. I just do not want any problems down the road. I have had the car for about three weeks or so, but am already itching to mod. Anyone with all three mods have any regrets? Black 2007 M5, about 13K miles.

Welcome aboard & Congrats on the Beast. This is my first post. I've been trying to rap up my modifications on the beast and then post some pictures.

Personally, I'm very satisfied with all of RPI products not forgetting their top notch customer service. I'm sure if you ask any one they would without doubt agree to that. I recommend going with the RPI Pulley & Scoops. Pulley is good for approx. 18-22 whp & the Scoops for 10-14 whp (70 mph wind). Note that you might see more gains from the Scoops at higher speeds.

Best of luck!

Dave,

I've got my RPI scoops on. When I
hardwire your Radar Detector, I can install the scoops on for you also. Have you ordered them yet?

Kind Regards,
Darren

Darren,
you are too kind my friend! I need to order the scoops first though. I am on the fence about the BMC's only b/c they used to throw up CELs on my 996 when I had them installed. I ended up going back to the stock filters. If I am really nice could I also hire you to pull the CF's? BTW, funny you are at OP rt now, my car is at Tom Bush on Atlantic getting the DSC disengage software added as we speak! Thanks again!

Gadgetman

Dave,

Go ahead and order your RPI's. I'll remove your Carbon Filters as well.

I live about 3 miles from Tom Bush BMW in Arlington however, I enjoy the drive to Orange Park's BMW.

Darren

Yes do all three!!! Just so you know, Dinan also started carrying pulley's too. They have two types 13% or 16% underdrive.
