Maybe it's weird, but I never thought about it.
My friend noticed yesterday that my 520i with wide center grille doesn't have any protection behind the grille and that you can see A/C radiator behind of the grille.
He said that it is impossible that car doesn't have some kind of mash or something like that between grille and A/C radiator, for protection of things from the road which can cause damage to radiator if pulled into the grille.
I looked at it and this is what I can see from the front of the car through the grille:
I can see few pipes, two plastic air intakes (I suppose) on each side of the grille behind the mask, and behind all that there is A/C radiator. Is that normal or not?
Also, my mechanic said that I should see A/C fan through grille, but there is none of that, only that air intakes.

I really would appriciate if someone clears this to me.
Thank U and Happy New Year!!!
