I refurbished a 325e valve cover, painted, sanded and I'm about to swap it over but I just realized the valve covers are slightly different. Does anyone know If there is a mechanical difference? It seems that only the mounting points on the "e" VC are different. But I would like to know before I shoot a rocker arm through the new one.

well, just figured out the hard way that the support bracket for the intake manifold is in a different location...do I absolutely need to have one on? or can I get away with it for one day and drive to the junkyard tomorrow afternoon and grab the correct bracket?sigpic1990 325IS,

I've been meaning to install that bracket for the past year and a half.
I should probably go do that now.
