Doesn't do anything for me. IMHO, it looks just as goofy as those WRX rear wings or a Pinto with a blower.
Why can't anyone leave the vehicles in their original form?

It actually is. It is an OEM BMW part used on the the Active E.

Metak: is the weight about the same as the stock hood or is the Active-E a tad heavier (or perhaps lighter of a different material was used)?

It's a normal 1er hood that's been put through a press to give it the dome - its identical in every other way

Here are some pics I found of the ActiveE prototype being tailored. I think BMW must have reduced that black box in the center of where a traditional engine would sit. This must be a battery pack, since it has orange power cables atop of it. ? Maybe BrokenVert can take some under hood pics of his car. production ActiveE... note how the center black box has been reduced in height.

I ordered the hood ... twice. The first hood I received was dented during shipping around the bulge. The body shop wouldn't even touch it because they would have to use body filler to fix the imperfections. I will probably list it in the classifieds. Maybe I will get a buyer. I ordered a second one and it is being painted.

How did you go about ordering it? Your dealer ordered it without you owning a 1E?

Any one else notice that the cowl (black plastic piece just forward of the wipers with rubber weatherstripping running along its top edge) is different on the ActiveE vs the 1M? It looks like it is contoured to match the shape of the curved hood. Is this an issue? Metak or Stratus, can you check to see if you have a gap in that area when the hood is closed? See the following pics:

Initially I thought these would look good, but somehow it looks disproportionate, as if the front of the car is highly aggressive and then the back just fades out. It must be how I'm wired - I like the new GT500s as well, but same thing - the hind quarters look so wimpy compared to the front. I'm not sure I understand the power dome for the ActiveE. Is it serving a purpose (assuming that battery will eventually be less monstrous)?

I don't think it is a issue. I did not see any contact or rubbing issues with Stratus650 's 1M. IF you look at the inside of the hood... looks like there is nothing to seal up against that rubber gasket. I maybe wrong... but it don't look to be an issue. Besides all this talk (might be!) moot. I don't think you can even order one of these hoods any more. Mr.Metak and Stratus were the pioneers on this - when people in the "know" here said BMW wouldn't sell them a hood. IF someone really wants something... don't listen to "others".
