Hood Vents

I saw in the ROUNDEL magazine a White e90 with Hood Vents and they looked MEAN on the car, anyone seen this or has them? I believe it would help keep the engine bay cooler and keep temps to a minimum since their is a better and effective way to dissipate heat from the bay. LET the games begin

Venting

You could louver the entire hood like a classic custom and it would likely have negligible impact on oil temps.

Don't know much about Puerto Rican weather but do you really want getting rain into the engine bay?

Axel I think you should go for it. You've always been a pioneer when it comes to modding this car.

You've changed the game.

Make sure it has red accents.

Seems you would want to fix your scratched up left front bumper before going and cutting up your hood

Tu sabes que estaba solo bromeando contigo sobre tu parachoque ;-)

My car is stock now (still under warranty). But reading on this forum has got me wanting to get 18" style 193 wheels, non-RFT performance tires and the EGR/DPF/SCR delete with Jarek tune. I will not cut on my hood as I like the stock look of the E90.

Now to find the $5 K USD that I put under the mattress for wheels, tires, dp and tune.
