You live in the UK, please go and check them out. I would buy 1 in a second if it's not more than 2k My HPS blower utilizes an air box that is very similar in design to your E55k I'm sure it could/would work.... 
Topline sells a similar system for about $1800 but there just carbon fibered air boxes, the air inlet tubes are STOCK, this UK system looks awesome

That thing looks like garbage IMO... The ram air inlets may pick up a little at higher speeds but the system still does nothing with the weakest link in the intake tract. That would be the Y fitting directly on the throttle actuator.. These blowers choke at any restriction.... I wonder what one of these would dyno with no air cleaners, for track use only of course

There is power (15-20HP) to be had in better air box's design. We are working on one to be part of EVOIII for 55s.
However, these look like just carbon copies of factory boxes. Without pictures of the inside and I would reserve my opinion.

They are actually bigger than the factory air boxes.. If you notice the intake tubes they are shorter and have a bigger snout on them. The boxes are also longer and a bit taller.
I came very close to buying a set but for $3,500 USD I couldnt justify it...
Hurry up and finish the intake system and those SLR intercoolers.. I am going to need them.
