Automakers have been putting sound and thermal hood pads on cars for decades. Whether they're affixed using plastic rivets, metal fasteners or spray adhesive. And, naturally they've always been made of fire resistant material.

tock,

Do you happen to have any documentation on the fire suppression role (as you call it) that BMW designed into the item? I really find it hard to believe, particularly as BMW eliminated such a (potentially crucial) safety device on so many vehicles. It's a simple sound/heat pad, nothing more.

Not trying to be argumentative, I'd like to learn more about it if it's truly as you say...
