I don't think so. They are very small scoops you install inside the grilles to direct air to the airbox. From what I've been told unless you start replacing big parts, crack the motor open, or get caught with Dinan tunes on your car you're ok. Filters exhaust and other bolts are usually not frowned upon.

Sorry. From what I've been told it doesn't matter who or what the tune is once you open up the computer and cause damage you're fighting an uphill battle. Most other bolts ons they won't mind. Im not sure a tune is even worth it on this car. Now the new twin turbo bmw's apparently will benefit tremendously.

...to the comment of used v2 prices. I find it hilarous that everyone expects american to drop like a rock in value but the fact is and i've stated it in other forums is that sooooo many people are waiting for used v2's to hit the market that its keeping up the value nice and high. My choice for a v2 over an amg or an M was the fact I could get it in a REAL manual transmission. I heard the manual trans for the m5 was horrendous

Congrats... When you drive a BMW M5, you are little past "being the fastest", llol... but the fit an finish of the BMW is miles away from the Cadillac, with as much as I love the V's...
Maintainance on the BMW? Well, you get what you pay for and new the M5's are going for what about $80K, so of course the maintainance is high... you get what you pay for...
I drive an M3, so basically the poor man's M, lol...
No question, I LOVE the V!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
