Will someone make scoops already

Why haven't scoops for the F10 N55 been made already? Don't answer that, I already know. Has anyone made a custom scoop yet?

Do you mean Hood/bonnet Scoops??

They do a pretty aggressive carbon fibre gtr style hood with built in vent/scoops.

Apologies 'stupid me' you mean ram air scoops like these? not sure they will boost performance massively though. never seen them on the f10 however most of of brits stick to the old dirty diesel power.

Oooooh those demon eyes with the red scoops looks sick. Yes air scoops. I had the red Cyba scoops on my all black e90. Always got double takes when people look at the low key red scoops behind the blacked out grille. Yeah, I'm going to have to fab one :\

And they absolutely add on the top end / freeway speeds. Where's that remove the grill DIY for my f10, time to start measuring. Or hit up Cyba and ask how much for a custom piece.

If you make your own or find out who does make, please share. I just want them for the look to be honest. Not expecting any gains considering where the intake is located.

^This


AFE, Agency Power, and RPI all produce scoops for the F10 chassis.
However since the N55 only benefits from one, the one on the driver side, it just doesnt seem very cost effective since they all produce & sell them in pairs for M5(maybe N63 utilizes them too).

I DIY'd one like the first week I got my car just because..it made sense to have one lol. But realistically I cant say I noticed anything different even after I installed the BMS intake upon its release. Eventually I forgot it was even there
