Nice bays guys! Just a quick question, my platic fan shroud (Don't know if thats the proper term but its the platic piece that is covering the fan) is broken and I have tried looking on ebay for replacements but they are all used and I don't know any good OEM part suppliers and I don't want to overpay and buy it at a dealer. I don't have much experience buying OEM parts for my lovely E39 and I'm looking for suppliers that people use that have good customer service and sastisfaction records (and will ship to Canada)
Apologies in advance not trying to jack the thread, I just wanna have a pretty bay like you gents!

I know... Looks cluttered, but the red wire was only temporary. At least I don't have crappy gold paint on my valve covers.

Some of these pictures would be perfect for this thread:

Wow.....just gorgeous. Loving the VF supercharger!
I've always wanted clean engine bays but I'm terrified of pressure washing. How do you guys do it? Sent from my LG Revolution 4G using BimmerApp
