New Owner

Hi just jumped from a bmw840 ci to the CL500 and I'm loving the ride! Been a BMW guy for over 15 years.
Now that I have my CL I'd like to do the following and looking for help:

1. Suggestions on where to buy a cold air intake
2. Suggestions on where to buy a performance chip

Thanks!

Don't waste your money. Minimal gains if any. Should of bought a CL55 or CL65. Enjoy the car as is.

You'd be spending money for no gain and possible risk. There is no path to more power at a reasonable price on a normally aspirated W215.
