I have had my car for about a week and just noticed I have covers or something missing on each said. What exactly am I missing here on the passenger side and driver side ?

Just to the left and right of the bars it looks like there were covers or something. I found this pic and I don't have this black cover piece.

Nah, doesn't look like anything is missing. If so, I'm missing them as well.

I'm going to take a better picture today it's kinda in the shadow. In the one pic I posted it looks like a black cover on the passenger side.

On a road trip, but I'll try and snap a pic of my N55 engine bay today and post later... Unless someone beats me to it...

I don't see anything missing; unless I'm missing something.

Hopefully you can see this idk why when you click on the photo it says not available. But behind my headlight it looks like something was there and there are little tabs that looked like something was removed

You're not missing the windshield washer fluid reservoir are you? I do know the passenger side is sparse compared to the V8.

I think that empty space is where the air box goes for the 550, it would be unused in the 535. The 550 has dual airboxes, so they have a little different configuration.

Nah...looks like the Flux Capacitor is missing! It's what makes time travel possible! Go to DocBrownInventions.com and purchase the OEM part...don't go cheap and buy aftermarket
