Installation Instructions for RPi Ram Air Scoops

TXM32B · 02-10-2009, 09:50 AM

I ordered the RPi ram air scoops for my 09 E90 M3, but installation instructions were not included. Can someone post installation instructions for me? Thanks.

Supposed to help direct airflow into the airbox, but mostly they look cool, here's a pic on my car:

I agree.... they might give you .1 more hp but i mainly got them because I figured they might look cool behind glossy black grills. I painted my scoops interlagos blue to perfectly match the car. Looks cool but sometimes hard to see....

I noticed that after awhile the red scoops are kind of dirty so I may take the grilles off and clean them.
Still haven't dynoed to confirm the HP but they do look cool in red behind the grilles. I wonder what they'll say when I go on for service next time

Probably nothing. You're not majorly altering anything on the car other than possibly limiting the amount of cool air to your rad.

I wonder, has anyone who has installed the scoops noticed anything different in the cars temperature?

I just ordered the red scoops and I'm painting my calipers red to match, I think it will look pretty good with the AW/CF theme I have going on. I'll post pics when finished.
