Hi all,

I'm sure many of you have had this problem!

My under bonnet sound proofing is completely shagged and I was just wondering what the best route is to take with restoring it?

I've heard the 318IS stuff is better to have, but is hard to get hold of and fit?

Whats the best solution?

Cheers all,

Martin

Standard kit from BMW part no. 51 481 911 852 - Ԛ£34.43
318is part no. 51 481 925 437 - Ԛ£35.37

Can't tell you what the difference is though as all E30 bonnets are the same.

Yeah? I think I've seen them on the E30 M3s at Gaydon last month! Ԛ£135 is quite a lot to spend on the underside of a bonnet, I'll have to think about it!

Cheers mate!

Oh right :o: Ԛ£60 ain't so bad I guess!

May opt for the M3 one then!

Thanks for pointing that out to us mate!
