Painted engine cover

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
A few days of nice UK weather gave me the opportunity to mod the engine bay of my 330i.

Unfortunately due to not reading my order correctly the colour isn't what I expected

Anyway I'm quite happy with the results

Colour: HOK Black base with HOK Sno pearl

Note: I know this isn't an M Performance car and the use of the M colours is frowned upon but they add contrast to the plastics.

Well its very well done and it looks nice. But as you acknowledged all this ///M livery doesn't belong on a 330... barely even on an M340... but hey opinions are like assholes right?

Looks great, if you want some M stuff on your car, you paid for it. Like the other poster said, options are like Aholes, everybody knows one....🤣

I think it really looks awesome. Great work and nice details. No matter if it's a 330i or M3. Have fun with your car.

I was feeling a bit bored and couldn't decide on any mods, so I took matters into my own hands and painted my engine cover blue! What do you guys think?

So since I painted my engine cover to blue, I wanted to paint my chargepipe. What color do you guys recommend. I was told by my buddy to keep my chargepipe the same color as my engine cover. It’s supposed to be warm this weekend so hopefully I’ll post my results next week.

Why dont you guys match the cover to body colour!? Whats all this bizzre yellow and blue stuff... I dont get something. Orange cover for Orange car would make way more sense than.. green-yellow. Legit question: colour blind? Or a take on Iron Man... please?
