What’s the first thing you check out when you open a car’s hood for the first time?

Strut tower bracing and how much is under a cover/plastic, immediately followed by where the intakes are and where are they pulling air from. S58 you can’t see a whole lot and unfortunately the cover is a functional part of the engine. Air to water cooler is nowhere visible either. Given the issues with this part leaking on the F80 and the fact I can’t visually inspect it on the X3MC, I’ll be keeping an eye out for mods to that part.
