    Default Before I break out the hacksaw...

    Just got my brake duct set from the dealer,$80, decent price I think. I've read the write ups on bmwe34.net for the 540 brake ducts. I feel confident about doing the project. Anyone have words of wisdom that has done this before?

    Thanks.

    Ive never done it before but my word of wisdom is this:

    Take your time... and locate a used 540i bumper cover and brake ducts just in case you run into a problwm.

    Recently E34 530 applied the 540 brake ducts, try to find his post and get ahold of him if you have any questions.

    The left tow hook cover has a hole for ventilation. To what exactly I can't remember.
