It does its job, but it looks like it was designed by the cost-cutting department. If you've already added carbon to your mirrors, spoiler, or interior, the engine bay is where the build falls flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AutoTecknic B58 carbon fiber engine cover fixes that. It's a direct replacement for the factory plastic cover on the M240i, M340i, M440i, Z4 M40i, X3 M40i, and X4 M40i. It mounts to the same points, so there is no cutting, drilling, or trim work. Swap it at a car meet and people will ask if it came from BMW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReal Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber, Not a Wrap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is 100% genuine carbon fiber. It isn't vinyl, it isn't hydro-dipped, and it isn't a carbon-look overlay on plastic. Each cover is laid up from prepreg carbon in a 2x2 twill weave and cured in a mold, the same construction method used for OEM BMW M Performance carbon parts. The weave size and pattern match factory M Performance 2x2 components, so it looks right next to the carbon you already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep gloss clear coat finishes the surface. Under the hood lights at night or in direct sun at a show, the weave has real depth that no printed finish can copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a Carbon Fiber Engine Cover on Your B58\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B58 is one of the best inline sixes BMW has built, and the engine bay should look the part. A carbon fiber engine cover is one of the few upgrades that changes the look of the whole bay with a single part. It also costs less than you might expect for how much it changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a cosmetic part. It does not change any intake, fuel, or emissions hardware, so there's no tune, coding, or emissions paperwork involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutoTecknic prepreg dry carbon fiber B58 engine cover (gloss finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% genuine prepreg dry carbon fiber construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2x2 twill weave matching BMW M Performance carbon components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep gloss clear coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for the factory B58 plastic engine cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUses factory mounting points, no cutting or drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReuses your original BMW roundel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCosmetic upgrade with no effect on emissions components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AutoTecknic B58 carbon fiber engine cover fits the following BMW models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G42 2 Series (2022-2026): M240i, M240i xDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G20 3 Series (2020-2026): M340i, M340i xDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G22 \/ G23 4 Series Coupe and Convertible (2021-2026): M440i, M440i xDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G26 4 Series Gran Coupe (2022-2026): M440i xDrive Gran Coupe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G29 Z4 (2020-2026): M40i\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G01 X3 (2018-2024): M40i\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBMW G02 X4 (2019-2025): M40i\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot compatible with the Toyota GR Supra, the G45 X3 (2025+), or four-cylinder models such as the 230i, 330i, and 430i.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you can open your hood, you can install this.
