After going through this thread -
my m42 looks like a little go-cart motor..

Did you make that heat shield or buy it from somewhere?

Heh, It came on another e30 I had a few years ago... def home made... def kinda crappy, but better than nothing for now.

Where are you guys with the M3 harness covers grounding your engine harness?

I drilled a small hole into the metal firewall behind the battery tray cover near the power distribution block, ground away some of the paint until bare metal, and put a large self-tapper through the spade connector that would normally ground to the battery tray. Totally out of sight and hidden behind the M3 covers.

The M42 cars use the battery tray ground point, thats what I used.

You can see it in the lower right corner

I have the M3 harness cover....but what do you mean about the grounding part?!

Well if you have the M3 harness cover all the wires are tucked away and not attached to the ground on the strut tower like stock.
