E30 Zone

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
Chris

I just got some from my stealer last week, but it could be different over here I suppose.

Try a different dealer!

Part number 4 on this link

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=51&fg=70

All the E30's used the same insulation other than the 318iS & M3.

about £36 iirc for the 3 pieces

ECP also does it .

That dealer wants dissin'. source another dealer. they come as a set of 3 pads and are about £30.

Who is your local dealer?

Castle BMW in York seem OK and I've had a good mixture of E30 bits off them

AH bought a set of these very recentley, your dealer sounds like a numpty.

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


M3 one


325e one

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.

interesting, have you got a close-up pic? whats the part number for that one?

if your really lazy

http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/kse ... 72-245-M89

comes to 72 USD time postage to uk is added

where is it on ECP fuzzy???? i could not find it

My local said it was no longer available and then ordered the Japanese version thats the same

E30Mark: Thats just what I was going to be looking for.

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

someone a few weeks ago bought one on here, he posted pics up too

i think when they cannot find them on the computer they say that

I just realised I need to get some on my Alpina too!

Thanks guy!

i thought prehaps my bonnet was a pattern part, another unique IS part

The 318iS part number is 51481925437

Don't think I've got any close up pictures of the insulation, I sold the car a while ago

2 part numbers are listed for foam insulation...

this one is listed for 318is..

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

The diesels also use the pad as in the bottom picture

this guy does them for a variety of cars and you can get a logo on them as well - just ordered one for my Lotus

here are this pics you asked me for A1BMW325iSport






dont worry its on the to do list

****! Knew there was something I needed to get done! Must get on to Cotswolds this afternoon...

Nice one thanks for that, yeah its certainly different to the standard stuff the 320/325's have

light weight you see

Nah, it's heavier, it doesn't have the square cut-out that the 6 pot versions have...

Tried ECP in Edin yesterday- told they don't stock them anymore. Don't know if it's the same across the country.
