Wrapped front grille and boot handle

[moff1959]

Well you did ask here is a sample of what's under the plastic covers
That one's different from what's in the SE, notice the inverter is rotated 90 degrees. Maybe it's from the i3?

Yep its the I3 good video on there motor production on YouTube. I guess we will have to wait for the Haynes shop manual for repair guides

For the black vinyl I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083QSL6FQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'd recommend at least 1.5x5ft of the black, maybe 2ftx5ft if you want to wrap the blade.
And for the chrome I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q2GFSK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For tools I used an Xacto knife, heat gun, plastic vinyl presser thingy, and 3M Knifeless Finish Line Vinyl Cutting Tape to do the seams on the grille where we wrapped it in multiple parts. If you haven't wrapped before I I'd definitely recommend watching a few YouTube videos or doing it with someone who's done it, the technique takes a bit to figure out.

I think that one on the left is an AC dryer thing, with desiccant in it to dry out the refrigerant that's used in the heat pump/AC. Here's an example from the i3, where it's called the "battery dryer": https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/battery-dryer/64509313580/

The big mount for the one in the middle makes me think it's a pump or something else that vibrates a lot. But from all the hoses in the first picture you posted, it seems like the heat pump is on the opposite side of the engine bay, maybe under the inverter.

Thank you! Been watching videos. Was looking at that brand on Amazon and wondered if it was any good. I've not done cars, but have other odd things before. Probably should get a bigger squeegee than what I have though.
