My new oil filter cap came in the mail this afternoon!!

I will be polishing this part just like what Gary did for his. This cap is quality!!!




In the background is my new copy of Roundel magazine

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

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.











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

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.

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
