Shaved/Tucked Engine Bay

[Drmoussaka]

Ive been searching around and noticed that alot of VW/Honda people have shaved/tucked Engine Bays.

Anyone experience this with BMWs. I dont see much of it with all the people doing engine swaps.

Here is a picture from a Honda owner from doing a search. Looks really clean...

I had a some what shaved and tucked bay on my car. I was still missing a lot of parts in this photo like the M3 wire harness cover and some other little things.
I never did take any photos after I was done with it..





There are photos of one floating around with a lot of work into it. But I cant seem to find it any more.

Yeah, me too.

It will be far worse after I do mine...likely sometime in 2023, but I have a dream!

E30this, That looks very nice, but far too time consuming for me. My ADD doesn't allow me to focus for that long on one project ;)

Oh it didnt take long, only a month from start to finish..
