Can someone do me a favour and check this for me?

[Travishksar]

My car is 2015 F82 M4.

Long story short.. After changing spark plugs, I noticed some air coming out from right under the M plastic cover (feels like using a hair dryer in low setting).

I don't know if this is normal cuz I didn't pay attention before I did the spark plugs. May I ask you to check for me if your car is also having air coming from about the same area?

Attaching a picture that shows where that area is. Many thanks!!

You sure it's not the cooling fan running?

Do you mean the fan that runs in S+? If so, I wasn't in S+..

Or even the cooling fan for the radiator when the engine is hot.

The pipe that passes in front of the cover is an intake one. If it is cracked you will not feel air coming out, it is always creating vacuum and is sucking air.

Maybe the fan is turned on and you can't see it.

I hope you are right. I will check again during next cold start to see if this still exists..

Nope. In fact, it runs noticeably faster with new spark plugs. For those who are interested, my car is under bm3 stage 1 with NGK spark plugs.
