funny, emblems created a urge and need in three other coupe-owners here, Stephen @autokunst was so kind (as always) to help. He may have more of these.

Andrew Wilson was very kind and ready to help too, BTW if you need an emblem you can ask him: @adawil2002

I see that a colour choice was made! So curious on the overall look!

Engine bay is looking nice; the attention to detail is amazing. Is the sound/heat isolaution from CS Werke?

won´t disclose for now

it is indeed, also other insulation cut-outs,
exception made of the top full width piece that is one BMW original bought 8 years ago

a tip: I decided to paint the horizontal body surfaces in engine bay without insulation layers + painting the layers alone before glueing them in place
this solves the question about removing the insulation (for whatever reason) and not having paint underneath just in case

Impressive!
I see the Stainless Steel reinforcement for the plastic part at the top of the handle. That is good but I wish somebody created a better part altogether. That plastic part is a cheap detail I have seen since the E10, E12, and E9. On a handle we use with our biceps to slam the door...the E24 has a much better design of that part with an integrated handle.
