Have you seen the price? They will be taking ALL of your money Lol.

TemjinX2 · 02-05-2018, 11:04 AM

at $1600, that can buy you a lot of oem valve covers lol. save your money.

How loud is that motor gonna be without the engine cover on?

Or does the $2000 price tag dampen the noise?

the oem valve cover is plastic. the other one is aluminum, so it lasts longer and looks cool. no performance difference...maybe louder since metal doesnt absorb sound as well as plastic

I'm thinking about starting to make aluminum window washer fluid reservoir caps!!! No more leaky window washer reservoirs and great looking addition for your billet VC!!! Only $499 a piece! let me know

$1600?! Ouch. It’s your money so spend it how you like.
For me, a detailed engine bay is way more appealing to me.

Washed and shined up with trim restorer, is really nice to me.

I'm going the opposite direction and 3D printing entire N54 long blocks, guaranteed till first turn of the crank.

I don't know about your PLC long blocks but my new billet window washer reservoir caps will come with lifetime warranty! You won't get that from Bountyque! Only $499! Nowhere else you will find military grade aluminum billet window washer fluid caps like these for so cheap! OP I'm looking at you! If you call within 15 mins I will throw in 2 caps for 1 double price! I'm done with my pitch

I'm sold. I'll take 4 at quadruple the price, plus that new 'as seen on TV' Sock Slider unit.

LOL, you guys are funny! I'm not gonna answer individually because as it was said it is in-fact my wallet, but I must say for owning BMW's everyone here sure is gun shy around cash. You guys must be spending your cash on more important stuff, I guess. As for seeing this every week, well I can't speak to that I was just happy with the idea. I guess you guys dont agree but that's ok

:happy anim:

Money aside, are you concerned that you may have a loud engine without the engine cover on? Injectors alone are a symphony.

I have been to the shop and heard the tester, and loudness is subjective, TO ME, it sounded almost exactly the same as my current setup. It was no louder or quieter, I woud be curious to get dB readings being that it is a concern for people. My setup still has the OEM cowl, and the tester vehicle had the BMS filters in place, so one would have expected the in cabin sounds to be much louder which simply was not the case.
