No! Ugh. Well, I have one for 3 covers, and one badge, anyway, as soon as I get my painted one, which should be somewhere in the Dravit queue.

Dammit, my man. That’s a good idea.

The metal tabs are obviously great for the factory, but they do break pretty much immediately.

Try to bend them as little as possible to remove and you may get lucky. If not some thick double sided tape stacked up will get it stuck in place nicely.

I just wish you could order the badges separately. I’d get a few.

I'm struggling with this decision as well. I have the carbon Turner strut brace and red Goldenwrench cap set and want to change the engine cover.

I could go with Brooklyn Grey to match the body color or...

Go with the Eventuri.

I'm not going to replace the intakes so I don't think I'll end up "over carbon-ing" the engine bay. One of the things I really like about the Eventuri is that it's symmetrical and it obviously looks great.

I just can't decide.

I too like the Eventuri for its balance. I think their cover with some custom paint leaving a little exposed carbon would be the best.
Does the Eventri fit with the CSL STB?

No, the Eventuri intake does not fit with the CSL STB. The engine cover does however fit under the CSL strut brace.

Thanks. I read they were working on the intake fitting with CSL brace.
But didn’t see anything on the engine cover.

I just thought it was you buying a strut brace to fit with the Eventuri engine cover, but, you’re buying the eventuri engine cover to see if it fits with the CSL bar that the car already came with.

Lol yeah I assumed the cover would fit the CSL so really didn’t know until the dealership tried it out when I took the delivery. Also thought of doing some customs paint on it however resell ability down the line would be more difficult. Will eventually get the eventuri intake when they modify it to fit. . But for now deciding to add some color to it. Some sort of red I imagine.

Eventuri has red and black carbon twill for some of the other intakes. That would be perfect. But Imran said they were only making black. Then IND posts a matte carbon one, today.

Skyscraper · 01-13-2023, 10:15 AM

I was looking at some technical specs today and saw that the heavily finned piece the Venturi covers is the intake.
The water intercooler is directly below it. So BMW finned the heck out of the intake manifold for additional intake charge cooling.
I like the symmetrical look of the Venturi, but I think covering the intake with it is a bad idea.

IND-Distribution · 01-14-2023, 09:45 AM

There is also Eventuri with painted BMW M Power lettering in any color of your choice.

Painted in Guards Red

Hit_Apex · 01-14-2023, 10:21 AM

Wow, red is very CSL badge compatible! While I’m here, please encourage Evolve to make the CSL updated intake in matte as well as the cover. The red lettering and matte carbon cover/intake combo would look great on frozen cars like my FBG CSL.

Limegrntaln · 01-14-2023, 10:52 AM

The matte carbon intakes and engine cover, should be Bimmerpost Edition.

Will the red/blk M badge from the boot lid fit on the cover?
