Are these vents actually venting something or they are just for looks?

 

They won't vent anything in the e60. I was wanting to know if they vented anything in the M5.

I keep looking to see if there is a way to get some engine bay venting out those sides but it doesn't look too feasible. I generally try to avoid fake vents, scoops, etc on my cars but I think I wll make an exception for these.

 

Har har, we do do a lot of things to improve the looks after all. Modding in general doesn't make any sense for the most part -- financially or otherwise (though convenience and other stuff can be argued), so they're just nice/awesome to have

 

You mean I'm not going to get my money back out of my mods! I convinced my wife I was making an "investment"

 

putting mods will never get the money back that you paid.

 

Addendum:
If for some reason you cannot make the grille to fit flush with the fender, try grinding the bonding glue on the car
that may be in contact with the back of the grille (yellow star) or grinding some plastic off where the red marking is at.

And don't laugh at my wheel gap! Better to concentrate on the awesomeness of my Michelin Pilot Super Sports and 19" VMRs






These arn't upside or backwards or anything are they?

 

Hehe, somehow you managed to dig it up! Nice, lol.


Awesome, Jim you finished it this weekend? Also, gap is a good thing, hahaha. Mine in the rear right was totally rubbing like crazy when my buddies came down and filled the car up. Holy crap I was afraid it was going to f' something up real bad
