From the Samba, I like the discreet intakes in front:

Well if it is big enough for a E36 M3 it should be for a notch

The big thing is to get rid of the air that enters
Bigger is not always better

A few Years Back the ford Sierra had no grill
The models after no grill with grill had smaller rediators cost saving for Ford and a few mods other wise

You need to create a suction effect after the rediator in a bug coz there are nice corners where the air can "accumelate" and not get out this causes running hot

In the 90's VW had a Passat with no grill in their range (this generation of cars was not available in SA). The air for the radiator went through the badge on the nose. I drove a diesel Passat Variant (station wagon) like this, who belonged to friends from Frankfurt, on the Autobahn in Germany. At 140km/h, you get overtaken by literally - EVERYONE! :lol:

In hindsight, I must say I think a lot of air is also scooped up by intakes underneath the bumper, which I suppose is the case with the BMW as well?
