There is a plastic engine cover, and a cowl:
The cowl is the long black piece spanning the strut towers below the windshield. On most BMWs, you need to remove this first, before you can remove the engine cover, as the cover extends under the cowl (long, inline 6s that almost sit against the rear firewall).
Not sure if that is the case on the N20, possibly not by the looks of that picture. And if not, that's a good thing...as pulling the cover is only a handful of small bolts at most.
