We could have adopted a universal hood vent kit for E36 or E46. But after evaluation they did not live up to expectations and we decided it was worth attacking these from a high engineering level. “It's just a vent, right?” No.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of hood vents is three-fold: \u003cbr\u003e1.) \u003cstrong\u003eVent hot air:\u003c\/strong\u003e our vents are actually a by-product of wind tunnel development of our Pikes Peak E36. We created a low-pressure zone over the louvers so that high-pressure air over the hood will actually pull air from the vents. The air is moving rather than just heat dissipating. While our Center Hood Vent is designed to extract warm air from the front radiator, these side vents work best on forced induction (turbo or supercharger) cars. \u003cbr\u003e2.) \u003cstrong\u003eImproved radiator performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e with air actually moving through the vent our radiators and coolers became more efficient, which allowed us to reduce front end openings, tighten gaps, and improve aerodynamics. \u003cbr\u003e3.) \u003cstrong\u003eReduce front-end lift:\u003c\/strong\u003e without a vent, air enters the engine bay and has nowhere to go. Some cars have a small vent at the rear of the hood (E36 coupe) but it's quite common to see hoods straining against their latches, especially lightweight steel or carbon hoods. These are acting more like a sail and lifting the front end. We're not adding downforce but we're reducing lift so the rest of your front aerodynamic aids work better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBimmerWorld Hood Vent features:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003edesigned specifically for E36 and E46 \u003cbr\u003elow-pressure zone creates tangible functional improvement, not a universal vent \u003cbr\u003ehigh-strength and crack-resistant aluminum \u003cbr\u003epowdercoated (not anodized) \u003cbr\u003elarge number of attachment points \u003cbr\u003elight weight - only 1.5lbs \u003cbr\u003edetailed instructions and cutting template included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurface area = 120in(2) per side or 240in(2) total\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment for all E36 and E46, including M3.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBMW Fitments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 318i\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 318ic\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 318is\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 318ti\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 323ic\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 323is\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 325i\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 325ic\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 325is\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 328i\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 328ic\u003cbr\u003eE36 (92-99) \u0026gt; 328is\u003cbr\u003eE36 (95-99) \u0026gt; M3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 323i\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 323ci\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 325i\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 325cI\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 325Xi\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 328i\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 328ci\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 330i\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 330ci\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; 330xi\u003cbr\u003eE46 (99-06) \u0026gt; M3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BimmerWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084432670833,"sku":"100.41.536.0015","price":254.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1088\/6742\/files\/media_30d868d8-a5b7-40fc-bd80-a3772908d826.jpg?v=1773954706","url":"https:\/\/www.parkautomotorsports.ca\/products\/100-41-536-0015","provider":"Park Auto Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
