Whether that is bad, I am not so sure, there are plenty of other things they have changed over time.
The front side wings are of plastic, the motor hood is of plastic...
But then is this essential, if you look at the BMW Gina concept, you may realise that this is just the beginning..

Many thanks Branko, It will be very easy to remove and fit my P-Tronic box, no tools required.

Hell, I've been driving my Mazda 6 for 85 k miles, and never worried if the plastic engine cover is fixed by Allen screws. .why should I fukin care if the screws are Allen or Jimmy or Timmy?!? The engine does the job right. .why messing with it??

I think you kind of missed the point. He was asking how the cover was mounted so that he can easily pop it off if needed to add his little power boosting gizmo without having to use a tool like an allen key!
