you'd be best off having hood vents stay as air removers and then supply a feed source and then enclose the system. Last thing you want is to do is flood the engine bay with more air that you can't effectively remove.


Maybe look at it as diluting the air (temp) vs removing all of it ...

the more air you try to ram in without being able to remove, the less air you'll take in. You'll just end up with positive pressure inside your engine bay and lower the efficiency of all of your coolers up front. You need an adequate low pressure source to evacuate the air that comes through the air dam. The more air you flow in, the better, provide you can also get it out of the bay too.

Nothing some wider fenders and a new bumper can't fix for the adventurous.
Core support, latch, etc as well. Oh and washer tank. From what ive read. I destroyed both fenders and bumpers been abused. M3 front swap isn't worth it, or i wouldve did it by now. Paying extra for the "m3" label.
