What's supposed to be in the back left of the engine bay? I've seen multiple BMWs with a space there, and it's not for the airflow, so I have no idea what it's for. My only guess is that it's where the battery used to be located because there is a positive terminal hanging there. Anyone else?

The DSC MK20 and the 20-pin diagnostic plug sits in there on early models.
It also serves as symmetry for the RHD models.

You mean engine bay, passenger side? Its known as the "drug bin". The RHD BMWs (e.g. ones in UK) have the brake reservoir on that side due to differences in the steering placement etc.
The positive and ground terminals there are for you to jump-start your car or give others a boost.

Is that what it is? My sister's Canadian 2003 330Xi has a similar looking module/component (I think, I'm going from memory). I assumed it had to do with the AWD system somehow.The DSC MK20 and the 20-pin diagnostic plug sits in there on early models.

I'm think that's an AWD thing, relocated there for some reason.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Maybe the migration to the mk60 gave room for the xi components?

Keith, did you ever finish your drug bin cover work?

Three questions:
- What is a fair price range for good condition used E46 M3 side mirrors?
- I'm thinking of converting my fog light lenses to yellow lenses. What are common options, a coating or finding aftermarket lens options?
- In that same vein, I'm thinking about maybe switching to non-fluted i.e. clear lenses. What are my options for finding clear lenses, are there aftermarket options or should I try and go used?
As always, I appreciate any words of advice!

I don't think you can buy just the lenses for the fog lights... I tried years ago. The after market (depo) fog lights have clear lenses. I've had those on my car for years without any issues
