Nice looking job...I like the vented look and was toying with the idea of going this route sometime in the future. It would have to be functional for me to consider it, though. I could not find a schematic showing the size and location of the vents. The Vorsteiner site describes a similar hood for the e90/92 as having an opening at the front of the dropped area, and at the side vents. Looking at my 135 and comparing to the photos, I am puzzled: With the hood popped open just enough to see inside and measuring along the hood crease, I get a measurement of about 14" from the rear of the hood to the seal over the rear compartment. I looks like the side vents are over the sealed off area. What possible function could they have there besides appearance? It seems they would have to be located more forward, with the front of the vent at about the position of the center slot in order to vent hot engine compartment air. Am I missing something here?
