Makes working in the engine bay alot easier, usually you would first need to remove the cowel before you could remove the engine cover or get to the charge pipe , drain your oil catch can, get to your ecu if you have a jb4 etc etc.
Other benefits would be reduced weight, the stock cowel weights 5kg's+, i dont have access to weigh the m3 one but the fact that its not that solid piece of plastic that spans the width of the engine bay, I am assuming it would be lighter. I stand to be corrected but i also think the M3 cowel will allow heat to be released as its not being blocked by the cowel( I know my bms cowel filters did this as you could see the heat haze off the windscreen in our hot South African summer days)
Lastly, I think it just looks so much neater and nicer!
