That thing looks sweet! I'm guessing they don't sell an m54 oil filter cap?

not that I know of or I would have this on my ZHP as well :)

I polished my new part just like Gary did for his and this is how it turned out.... a real piece of art if you ask me. :roundel

This is exactly what I have been looking for for quite some time... I can't thank Gary enough for the heads up!! :thumbsup

By the time I finished polishing this part, I had to have it installed on the ///M only to realize I will need a new oil filter retaining nut to keep everything looking nice.... it was fairly dark outside and so I ended up using a flash to capture these pics...

You can see the reflections from the flash of my DSLR onto my airbox... this part is shiny! Dremel is your friend... ;)

That looks awesome!!

For the M54, there are options. There is this from ECS: http://www.ecstuning.com/News/BMW_E8...006/ES2738405/

This one from VAC has ports on it: https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...m54-p1776.aspx

But perhaps the nicest looking one is this one from China at an astonishingly low price: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...249133184.html

Shinny!! Looks so good on the engine. :drool

How long did it take you to polish it?

Gary, I'd say about a half hour. I was taking my time when I polished my cap :)
