You don't think that's what the power dome was, though? Hood bulges similar to the power dome are a huge part of American muscle. That's why my first reaction to seeing the E46 power dome was distaste. I thought it looked like an afterthought and pointless aesthetics, though later it was found to be functional. We're all used to it now, which is why people are complaining, but I think it would have looked better without it. |
Good point - I guess I never thought about that. I relocated to the US in 2003, and knew basically nothing about American Muscle cars before then (other than watching Dukes of Hazard as a kid...my fav show!). Hence when the power some came out on BMWs I never made that connection.
