Folks, newbie at engine cleaning, so I beg for your indulgence. Attached are pics of my engine (2000 BMW 540 V8). What parts do I need to cover so I don't screw this up? I have the CD2 engine cleaning kit, is it an ok product? Thanks for the anticipated help!

Your engine bay looks pretty clean. You don't need to cover anything if you're not anticipating using a hose. (you won't need a hose for your engine)....



I'm not familiar with the CD2 kit, but once you get it clean. Dress the rubber hoses and plastic parts with a Plastic and Rubber dressing of your choice. (Including black wire loom)....



If the CD2 kit involves spraying your engine, cover the electronic ignition and alternator.



You're lucky because you are starting with a fairly clean engine.
 
I LOVE the CD2 kit. That is going to make your engine look awesome. I would just recommend taking your time and using a bucket of soap and water. Get some shop rags and go at it. There doesn't look to be much need for degreasing that motor, but I guess you could start there anyway. It never hurts to get it extra clean. That is clean enough that it shouldn't take much time.
