Your one does mate, was a primary reason for that hood and you can see the hot steam come out of it. Not a bad thing for our hot running n54's.

I've never had an issue. Just don't go aiming the hose in there directly on purpose.

I'd imagine it would help to a certain extent with letting the hot air from under the hood out? So Ur pods would suck in cooler air.

Got it. Had an ex gf who put the hose into the oil filler cap thinking it was the radiator and filled her engine with water lol. She had a problem starting the car after that haha

Car's looking great Socks.

The hood makes a huge difference. I've got the hood from Jason also and the fit is spot on. I left mine in carbon fiber. At certain angles it blends in with the BSM.
