I am doing some bodywork and paint for my ride,, what is ur opinion about this ?

What vents do u recommend ? or which stile ?


any u have any please post pix


thanx

Well the most functional would be front passenger side, since that is where your intake is. Wouldn't be functional at all if you don't have a CAI.

If your looking to just vent heat from the engine, i would say some long slots towards the back of the hood, closest to the windshield. I would make the cuts the length of the stock cowl to make sure everything is proportional.

Not a big fan of vents on a N/A car though...

I have two choices

this is 1

this is # 2

I like #1 without those 2 side vents. Plus the bodywork would be much easier that way.

Check out http://www.vorsteiner.com/e60m5-vented-hood.html. I think that style would look best on an E34.

I think vents would look nice, just none of the above posted.

Is this a track car? If not.. then I don't like vents.. I don't see any gain from them.

Thanx guys for sharing

well, I need to have the vents coz the temp. in my place reaches more than 49 C.

with A/c on and traffic jam I am think I need to do something that cools the car.

this is the main point of the hood Vents in my case.

I am gonna make it like the blue one but I wanted to share with u guys

I'll get photos to u guys




thanx again

:( I liked option #2

Oh well, GL. I cant wait to see it done

For vents to work you need to be moving. Not going to see much impact in a traffic jam. Since it is a priority where you are, keep your cooling system in top shape with the best parts and coolant.

I vote no vents.

this is # 2

that looks like the vorsteiner hood.. carbon fiber

not going to be easy to do on your 5er.. might look awefull too.

{{For vents to work you need to be moving. Not going to see much impact in a traffic jam}}
u r right in this point but the air circulation will be better if there is a way out to the hot air.


thanx for sharing again

option 1 up there looks best if you want vents

Geesuz, jumping, holy sh*t. What does this heat do to your interior? My car is unbearably hot if I get in it after sitting in the sun at 27 C. (80 F for the imperials:cool) I would expect cracked dashes, faded seats...etc. I would assume it is normally parked under cover?

Both options could probably look pretty nice depending on the car.

thanx for sharing guys,, will make it same option 1

zubbie

regardig the heat,, this is not the max here, it reaches upto 55C sometimes in summer, regarding the dash and seats etc.. tinting the car will be good solution ( my ride is 75% tinted (100% the max black))

regarding seats I use NIVEA Cream once a month that keep them soft and shiny and help not to get cracked

this is beside useing some leather care product.
