Referring to the under-hood grills in the right corner of the photo above. I have owned Bavarias since the mid-eighties, and E9 coupes since the early-eighties. But only recently did I notice the under-hood grills. They are dainty(not a word commonly used about BMW parts) and fragile, fine grills that sit below the serious hood grills in front of the windshield.
I assume they are meant to trap debris. But why on the Bavaria and not E9s or early 2500 and 2800s? When our local group of Classic BMW owners, The Rocket Dogs, got together recently I could not wait to raise the hood of my '72 Agave Bavaria and proudly point them out to the surprised guys.
Correct me if I am wrong. Please. Won't be the first or last.
