Those who remove the under-engine bay (hood) cover2. Those who keep it on (I hear new E46's came with the cover) I drive a E46 and I'm undecided. Mine didn't come with a cover when I bought it used. I'm leaning toward fitting the cover.  Benefits: Minimizes dust from the outside (end up in your headlights, air filter, aircon filter, etc.) Also reduces outside odour (ala biawak mati tepi jalan). Disadvantages (I've been told): heat remains trapped in the engine bay and therefore gaskets / rubber hoses life is shortened. (but surely BMW must have thought of this when the designed the cover!)  What's the concensus here?</p></blockquote><p></p>
