I have a CF strut tower brace and painted Estoril Blue engine cover on my F3X 335i N55. Might get the N55 Eventuri CF air intake, if I upgrafe the charge pipe and intercooler. I also have part of the Eventuri E9X S65 CF kit with an IND custom painted V8 Plenum. The thin CF pieces resonate nicely while driving, like an aggressive exhaust.
The F8X S55 engine bay is a tad busy. No room for an intercooler in the front bumper so they piled it on top. The curved CF strut tower is gorgeous, but needed more engine bling to make it complete. You can paint the S55 engine cover for a touch of color.
The new G8X M3/M4 S58 is supposed to have a hybrid engine in there somewhere for an extra kick. Working on that will be a nightmare if it breaks.
Hopefully BMW fixed the crank hub defect. 24+ hours of labor to repair.
Cheers

That's not why they put the heat exchanger where they did. They did that for throttle response.
