Painted Engine Bay?
Ok I have seen several cars here where their engine bay has painted parts that match the outside. Such as strut towers and some brackets.
Mine is all black? 2013 335i, M Sport, EB2. Is it just me?

BMW appears to use differently colored primers for cars that match their intended final color. My E90 has a blue-gray primer that comes close to matching the bluewater exterior. My wife's Glacier Silver F30 has a gray primer.

I really want to get my cover painted after seeing the sexy work that zman1237 did for ronanz but worry it would look too out of place being the only blue in there!
Perhaps I can paint some other stuff myself...hmm
