Has anyone taken the engine cover off? What's its purpose? I looked at radzm550i's M3 pix from the Mfest at Kress pictures and I saw the hood up and it didn't have it. Just wondering if I can get a better sound from the engine bay without it.
TIA

Its a heat shield, to protect the heat of the engine from baking the hood paint.

i think part 2 is supposed to be it. just because it isnt on his car doesnt mean it doesnt belong there.
