Sound Deadening under the Hood (pic inside)

[fannyj]

Hi Guys,

Called BMW a few minutes ago looking for the parts numbered : 9-10-11 on the pic below, they reckoned it's production has ended, is there an alternative ? Could i take it from an e36 and cut to fit under my hood ?

[Widge]

I could have sworn you could still get this from BMW.
There isn't a big BMW place like 2 stroke to Turbo for th old Saabs is there?

[fannyj]

Honest, called 2 Dealerships... they can no longer get the centre piece, they might be able to get the left and right side. Is there an alternative...

[Widge]

That's rediculous, I suppose you have to look for a breaker and work out some way of getting the stuff off. Or find some similar material and cut it to size. Maybe an E36 bit will be bigenoug to cut down to size, you need to look under an E36 bonnet.

[fannyj]

I know, these BMW guys here in SA suck! I suppose that's what i will have to do then... will yank it out of my 328i, e30 gets preference!

[Widge]

Oh sorry mate though you were in the UK. Do you think it could be avalible over here and someone could post it to you? I'd be willing if you want.

[Simon]

I bought one of these not long back, try asking for part number 12, as it comes as a kit all in one.

Forget trying to remove one from a breaker, it won't happen!!

[fannyj]

Just called for part 12, same thing... my is peeling off rapidly, dirtying my engine bay!

[Widge]

Mate if your willing to pay postage to SA then I'll go and see if it is in stock over here. I need to go to BMW anyway. No idea what postage would be like though.

[Simon]

Just phoned my dealer part 12 (pn- 51 48 8 103 798) available to order, £26, can get within 2 days, sounds like your dealers need a kick in the arse!!

[Widge]

Hey £26 that's not bad.
Tell your dealers you know its avalible and you don't care if they have to order it from Germany, that's the sort of service you expect!!! And then mutter about buying a Merc for you next company car or whatever.

hi fannyj, my one was changed a couple of years ago, with some non standard stuff it actually looks like the panel beater cut it to fit. i will try to find out what it is for you.

Extra sound deadening for the diesel E30 324td

[tonyppe]

funny i should see this, when i was fitting my DEPOs today the bonnet blew down and now bits of this are falling off.

will or can it do any damage if any was to get around the cam belt? its pretty crumbly, i have thought not but does anyone know any different?

i have also seen from other cars, unless you take out ALL sound defence stuff there is not a lot to be noticed. not sure about the E30s but im not bothered.

[Stealth]

Does this stuff stop any potential extra heat transfering to the bonnet and screwing up the paint..??

[Stealth]

OOOO look 400 posts..!!

I doubt there enough heat under a bonnet to effect paint, unless you have a 5ltr v12 or shit paint!

[Stealth]

One out of two is not bad.... and unfortunatley is not a V12..!!
