Engine Bay Bling

Searching around there appears to be little to no bling or CF parts for the engine bay on the G80/G82.

Miss the carbon brace on the F80 series.

Anyone know any anything available or coming soon?

Thanks for the heads up on this and it looks like a vast improvement on the stock brace.

One thing strange though. On the product page checked if it is compatible with G82, and it is not, however is compatible for the G80. Not sure if this is an error on the site, or there are differences between the G80 and G82 braces.

Ditto…..the red version on this I'm seriously considering….or I should say at this point that I definitely want it, as I think this is gorgeous and would be perfect engine bling; as you put it! Just curious, which one you thinking of getting?

One thing that doesn't make sense is why the "clear" version is just billet and not CF like the rest. Other than that, just curious which one everyone interested in this particular strut brace is thinking of getting.

Would love to get the strut brace in a custom color (purple) but $1k just feels a bit steep for some reason…lol. 🤷🏻

Most likely Black for me, although the red does look good. Would not go with my exterior though.

I could go red as it would match up with the brake calipers.

That's exactly what I'm thinking...that and if I go with that BMS intake kit, I could choose blue as the color of the cones, and the blue/red theme under the hood would match my Tanzanite Blue M3 w/red caliper look on the outside.

In a year there will be a lot more options for parts including strut bars. I’ve seen a few options posted and while they look nice, I know there will be some amazing products down the road and I would hate to spend even more money on parts I’m feeling meh about. I’ll wait for Eventuri to come out with some engine bay options.

Agree with this comment. There will be lots of additions over the coming months. What is definite is the bay needs improving.

I liked these for the F82 but the cost was a bit over the top.

That looks mazing. If it was pricey in the US, it would of cost and arm and leg in AUS.

Didn’t see it on the US website yet, but AC Schnitzer offers in Germany now an engine cover for about 500 Euro.

I think Hexon does the CF strut brace

https://www.mlperformance.co.uk/prod...0&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Was actually looking for Carbon Fibre bits for my G80 too. They told me that there'll be some other CF exterior bits coming out soon. Pics looks pretty neat imo.
