My mate has a 325iX and needs sound deadening for under the bonnet, Ive phoned my local stealers and they didnt know anything....as per usual.
Has anyone got an idea where I could get a kick please?

Cheers

The 325 e one is different to the M3 and iS.
See photos below for differences. Both of the below iirc are NLA.

Show me yours and i'll show you mine!

My old 318iS

Unlike the 'normal' insulation the 318iS for some reason has a bobbly effect to the insulation. Looks much better the the normal insulation in my opinion.

Not available from the dealers anymore then? Any place local to Ireland or even the Uk that does them?

Since the later one is covered over maybe it's visually less appealing? Not that you can see under the bonnet...
