Harness covers

[scottinAZ]

I installed the two main parts of my M3 harness covers today, and aside from being a major pain in the ass to get it all in there, looks pretty good. Problem is, being a cabbie, and still having a front mounted battery, I cannot use the battery cover piece as intended.

Since I cannot possibly be the first person in the world to want to keep a front battery, and have M3 covers, How are you dealing with the battery cables and such that MUST be outside of the covers? are you notching the cover to fit? Is there even enough room for the cover to be in there with a battery? does anyone have any pics of this application that I can take a gander at??

I thought that there was a cover specially made for the cabrio.

yeah, me too, however an in-depth search of RealOEM yields nothing.

I think a buddy of mine got a cabrio specific one after asking Blunt. Give him a call...if you already havent.

Look up M42 318i convertible?

I did, there isnt any mention of a cover for that application that I could find. The other two pieces are the same as the M3 application (duh) but there is nothing showing for the battery area in any diagram I could find.
