who is thinking of make a thing like this:

 
I like it too much, but I'm search other colours too, but the ///M stripes are a MUST!:D

i like this one but i dont like ///M badges and colors all 316's in europe is "equiped" with ///M colors and badges in mine i gone use some Alpina badges and german colors like my engine cover

and i regret i dint go my cover in the machine shop to make it like S42 cover with M Power on it maybe im gone paint some spare cover in future

and the dual carbs (or ITB's if you want) are Awesome and nuvolarossa this is something to think about it :D is the alipina switchtronic. Another good idea but it cost is to airbrush alpina roundel on your vavle cover very unique!

I did mine red.  Glass beaded it then painted it with Dupli Color High Heat paint with Ceramic.  It came out quite well and has held up nicely.


I did my intake manifold Cast Coast Aluminun(another Duplicolor spray bomb)
My car is alpine. I like the red with the white. Kinda flashy but everyones is black or silver.

Am a basic kind of guy so I just used a engine color that match the BMW Blue on the logo.  Here's a pic.
