If anyone has an M3/4 and can confirm this please do!

I have an M4 and yes the TMIC is flush with the top of the engine. It does not protrude above. And I for one believe the TMIC will be on top of the engine, the same as the M3/M4. In fact, when I observe the leaked photo's I can see a bulge on the hood both on the left and right sides, and also a slight bulge on the top of the hood albeit not as extreme as the M4 hood. I believe that the "de-tuned" S55 engine in the M2 Copmpetition will simply be accomplished by software only. I don't believe the M4 hood actually requires such a raised area and believe it is strictly for cosmetic reasons. Again, just my .02
