There is an old thread at bimmerforums.com with the same question.

Go and try a search there in the 2002 section.

Cheers,

I couldn't find any photos. So here are a couple of videos of hood scooped 2002s

Turn the volume UP!!!!

I can't remember who it was through the beer induced fog, but someone on the board glassed in a pretty badass scoop that was functional too. It was a duel scoop on each side of the hood.

If there's a good-looking hood scoop on an 02 out there, I havent seen it. Aside from aesthetics, there's not much function to having one. On American cars, hood scoops were attached when a modified motor was too tall for the hood or when the carmaker was trying to fool the buyer into thinking that it really forced air into the intake. Since that didn't actually produce better horsepower and the 02's motor is plenty short, there's no functional reason, in my opinion, to add one.

Just doesn't look right on a German car.

Anyway, with that being said, check out Charlie's creation:

Any decrease in intake air temp and under hood temps will render more horsepower, engine less likely to overheat etc..

But, I would agree that most do not look good.

YES. That was the car...

Just found this one on r3v.

How about this 2002 with a chevrolet V8.

[NickVyse]

horrible, but it does feed a mahoosive turbo so at least it's functional

the orange one at the top is mine

I actually got the idea because my air filter was rubbin on my hood. It is functional, but like everyone said, maybe like .05 BHP... lol. But it stopped the rubbin and adds a little muscle look.

Whatever floats you Bimma

I've got a similar setup on mine; 300zx turbo hoodscoop right above the carb. If you look really hard, you can see it on the bad camera phone pic

Here is a front shot of the old hood in all it's hack-job glory...

Both scoop and vent were totally functional (and pretty neccesary; she ran hot)

in my defense, it gets retarded hot under my hood and I can see the heat billowing out of there when I'm stopped. LOL

Blasphemy!
