Missing something under the engine bay
 

My X5's ('08 3.0) underside below the engine has two holes missing a cover. The lower photo is someone else's vehicle. Notice how it's covered.

Obviously I didn't touch anything underneath. It's either the dealers or all '08 3.0 vehicles are like this.

Which is it?

My 4.4 was missing these two items when I purchased it. I am not positive, but I bet they all had the covers when new and over time either the tabs broke or the techs/owners didn't put them back after servicing the vehicle.

Thats what people get for using BMW dealers for service!

Two covers missing, IMO

A

I have two X5's. One has them and the other doesn't. I don't know if the one that doest have them ever did????

My '08 3.0 has no covers from day one.

My '04 e53 3.0i that I bought new from the dealer had the covers. However, my CPO'ed '08 e70 4.8i Sport doesn't have them. :dunno:

Part numbers anyone?

I like the idea of keeping as much road dirt and grime out of the engine compartment as possilbe. TIA!!!

Hmm. That's totally random. Wonder if they're missing from the factory or afterward.
