For some reason BMW wanted a secondary opening into the airbox, since the latest design has the same opening you have but with a rubber snorkel installed. I'd think there's a lot of hot air inside the engine bay, and why BMW wants that air available for intake is beyond me. But then, why did they block the hole off for some cars built prior to 11/12? I'd guess an intake noise they didn't want, so if you like the way the car sounds now, why spend money to cover it? Perhaps the snorkels are available now, and for less money?
