I love it when parts are as good as the description. This is one of them. Super easy to install. Fit perfectly on my 2001 e46 M3. Took about 30 minutes including cleaning up the cabin air intake and wiping down some of related components. It looks great and fits like a glove.

After expecting to spend the afternoon replacing the old one with this, it took about 20 minutes. This was exactly the same as the old one, came with the clips already attached and everything. Took me longer to remove the wipers than to replace this.

The original cover on my Son’s car was in really bad condition. 90% of the rubber edge has broken off and the cover had faded to an ugly gray color. The new cover came packaged nicely with absolutely no damage. It came with new clips for installing already attached to the cover. It was a simple matter of pulling the old one off and installing the new one. What a difference it made!

So pleased with the cowl!!! First, it arrived a day earlier than the Estimated Delivery Date, so they are very prompt at sending it. Second, It was packaged very well and arrived in immaculate condition. Third, it fit my 2001 BMW 330i perfectly. When they describe it as OEM, they really mean it. Installation is really simple and quick.

Item received on time and looks as advertised, looks sturdy and may last long hopefully. Comes with the snapping anchors. No glue required, just like the original one. It is snap on.

Very nice and easy fit on my 2003 e46 325xi wagon . Took me about an hour to do but If you have the right tools it’s probably like a 30min job. Would recommend👍

This windshield cowl cover was a perfect fit for a 2004 e46 3 series station wagon. Once the wipers were removed, it took no more than 10 minutes to get the old one out and the replacement installed.

The cowl was an easy install on my 330CI. I am glad I made the purchase and did it myself. The dealer wanted to charge me $400 dollars (mostly for labor and it took me like 20 mins to do it).
