Personally I like the existing look of the engine bay with no additions.

BUT, if I were to add these, I'd just go with #2 and not put anything on the plastic engine cover. First, not sure how much these weigh, but I just don't like the idea of an extra bit bouncing around on the plastic cover over time. Second, in theory if someone were actually working on the engine and needed to be reminded of the firing order, the cover would be off and not available for reference. However unlikely that scenario is - when I'm doing stuff like this I still like it to make sense.

Of course - more important than our thoughts is what you think looks good on your own car! My M550 has the individual paint placard on the metal part where you're suggesting #2 - it does look neat having something in that spot which is probably why I'm also having a preference for that.
