Awful engine compartment and cover...

mgaciah · 07-07-2016, 10:42 AM

Don´t you think that the F85/86 engine area and cover is awful among the other M´s, you always expect something very nice when you open a M hood but I think everybody expects something else from the bigger and most powerful engine that BMW have designed so far.

Hmmm... to me it looks rather sober and serious, I like it this way.

BMWOO7 · 07-07-2016, 06:16 PM

I don't think it looks bad. Have had allot of people comment on it looking 'ready for business'.

I don't typically drive with the hood up....

2.5 years with my F10 M5 and I think I've only opened the hood twice.

Maybe just a touch of color will help...

I wouldn't have complained about carbon fiber covers but I also have never popped the hood.

I wonder what Dinan would say especially with their beefier intake

Not that orange is not nice but i wonder if they would ever do a Carbon Fiber version... at least to go with the Dinan intake. Dont mind this if you are not a CF fan
