Swirl Flaps

[far]

Hi All

Removed the swirl flaps from my 530 e60 - have read various references to the X5 not having these buggers but also read some contradicting threads saying that it DOES have them - could someone confirm if it does or it doesnt!??

I would particulary like to hear from members who have removed these

Car is an X5 2003 diesel pre-facelift

Damn,
Naz, you're supposed ask me "What's a 'pie cost?"

I then come back with "About $3.50 depending on the filling"
