E90 engine cover removal (N52 330i)

[Mr Tidy]

So I'm sure there is a way to remove the plastic cover, but I can't work it out.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks - not good news though.

Removing the cabin filter and wiring harness out of the way didn’t take too long for me, about 45 minutes having never done it before. Had to do it last week to change the spark plugs. Plenty of guides on the internet.

The silver cover over the cam cover? Or something else?

Just the silver cover - mine is sitting a bit high so I can't open the oil filler cap!

Shame I didn't notice before I bought it!

It's held in with rubber grommets. Just pull it off (oo err).
