Originally BMW wanted to add in the air scoops but since I am a natural in marketing I told them not to. This is because if you add it on no one will really care and it's not so profitable since the workmanship cost is so high in Germany etc. so they agreed with my proposal for them to supply this to the after market. That means they can sell the product, make a good margin without any bother about installation la. Makes more sense.As for the air flow, I was in the wind Tunney to test the scoops. The efflux of the design was carefully calculated by me. It has a 95% flow efficiency, which is amazing, I am so proud it. As for T2 query of stagnant air and Potential deflection etc, well it was overcome using the principles of compressibility ... When the car reaches its top speed, there was some issue as what T2 suspected. What I did was I changed the inlet design, to make it less smooth, this causes compressibility but the beauty of it is that, with compressibility, the air is not forced down the scoops, creating a higher airflow.So I hope this explanation clear the air about the scoops.
