I've had mine sitting since last fall to install. Hopefully things warm up here at some point in MI.

I'm in the same boat here in Western PA - I got a boatload of shit setting here in boxes to install & parts to get painted - it's killing me looking at the stuff but having to wait

After finding the M3 mod - I wish I would have waited on done it instead
But at this point I spent good $$ on CF Microfilter Housing, ECU Cover, & Brake Reservoir Cover + I just bought a new cowl base since those friggen clips that hold the bridge containing the cables all but one busted and the thing was hanging down onto the engine...

Old thread revival! I run without a cowl, main reason is for extra air flow and I like the sound. I gene no issues keeping engine bay clean...I have a few questions for those who have done this mod.
1. I would not use the hood seal since I want more air flow & sound...did this setup allow more sound and air? 2. When raining does it drain water? That is the only time I use my cowl lol!

Are any of the plastic bolts needed for this mod? Do we must reuse our bolts?

Has anybody with a 135i tried this? I ask because the part numbers for the cowl piece are different for the 1 and 3 series. Thanks!

Does the cowl for the 335 serve any structural purpose? Am I losing anything by updating to the M3 cowl? Also, where do the 2 sensors go that sit in the 335 cowl? I believe they may be air temp and air pressure, but who knows?

If so, would I still need all six of these parts? 64-31-6-958-817 Filter housing lower, w/M3 Left $26.56 64-31-6-958-818 Filter housing lower, w/M3 Right $26.56 64-31-6-958-815 Filter housing upper, w/M3 Left $53.49 higher than expected 64-31-6-958-816 Filter housing upper, w/M3 Right $53.49 higher than expected 64-31-9-144-869 Side cover w/M3 Left $7.92 64-31-9-144-870 Side cover w/M3 Right $7.92 Are the side covers really necessary? Do they help the housing to lock in? At first I thought they covered the DME and Brake Fluid reservoir similar to the OEM covers, but a closeup on ecs shows otherwise (looks sort of like outer shell like a license plate holder). Anyway, total is a bit high at ~ $170. Maybe good X-mas gift from the wife...For now, I may stick to the BMS Cowl Filters and leave the OEM side covers in place with the HVAC system (my only concern is water getting in DME area if by chance it's not perfectly sealed with the JB4 harness installed). Should still remove some obstruction for increased sound. Opinions?
