The burden of proof is on you since you introduced this notion that the blanket is a fire suppression mechanism. The only proof you supply is a PDF where some researchers say they don't know how the blanket would perform. There is NO DATA. You made the claim, now show us the data.

Citation, please. I don't think it will have a meaningful effect. If what you say is true you can find some empirics to back it up.

The plastic rivets will melt, but the fastening hooks around the perimeter will not release. This on a undamaged hood. Crumpled from front or side impact , how would the sound damping pad fall ? Your vocabulary is distinguished but mechanical aptitude is lacking. Admit defeat.

EDIT: And this is the expanding rivet (5 required) for mounting, according to RealOEM (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...57#51489141036): https://www.fcpeuro.com/products?keywords=51481915964

If you're going to order a hood pad it's best if you simply order it from your local dealer. It's going to be pricier but it will get damaged if you have it shipped to you from an internet source.

You won't see more water temp while driving, you will see the same water temps take longer to fall after you turn off the car.

Reason: I called my local stealership today and they said "I'm sorry, we don't stock that part." No offer of "we can have that in x days" or "x dealership has it in stock." So F* them. |

The guys from Tischer did box it up well but they warn that there is a possibility of it being damaged en route. And mine was when it arrived. It's not like ordering ball joints. To eliminate that risk you might want to order it from some place local so you can inspect it before you take it home. It costs more but it is your decision in the end. |

Someone in their warehouse put the correct tag on the wrong part. Now I've gotta ship the goddamn thing back.

Any other reviews of how this thing performs? I wouldn't mind quieting down the ticking lifters somewhat - I mean, I think all N52's tick, but it's definitely louder with headers installed.
I guess it would be nice not to have the outside of the hood get so hot to the touch, and I think it will just dress up the engine bay a little, for whatever that is worth. Also, it sort of bothers me to know that this part was left of my car just to cut costs, but that it's out there and available. So, you can see I'm pretty much convinced to buy it already...just wondering what those of you that have already done it think?

1. Though quieter, the whole aural experience is less visceral as would be expected though the engine bay looked more "finished". 2. With my 3.64 diff there was a pronounced harmonic "tone" (I've no idea what else to call it. Wasn't a buzz or anything else.) at approximately 76 MPH under light load which is now far less perceptible. 3. I have a custom painted engine cover that for 2 1/2 years was just fine, but in the month and a half since I installed the underhood insulation the paint on my engine cover has started to crack. Coincidence? Maybe, or perhaps underhood temperatures are that much higher. 4 I have the underhood insulation and clips (51489141036, 51481915964), which I received via DHL on 20 June 2016, for sale. Make me an offer. As an aside, without the insulation the hood never got so hot that I couldn't touch it. I'm guessing 160°F (71°C) max and I'm now not convinced it was left off merely for cost. YMMV

Consensus of those who have added the insulation
I am interested in the sound reduction feature of the hood insulation. So, what is the consensus?
Who likes the reduced noise? Who does not like the new sound? Thanks Wallyf |

I'm still on the fence. It muffles quite a bit of intake noise and the car seems less visceral when getting on it. It's quieter cruising, but I rarely if ever listen to the radio anyway, so I kind of miss the noise. I might just use it on long trips and leave it in the garage for DD.

As to sound: standing at grille at idle mine was silent with it, and silent w/o it. Under any other typical throttle condition, aFe ducts and stage 2 wet filter add enough induction enhancement to make a pad decibel reduction moot. I sought to add the right sound @ the right time. Likewise, regarding handling, add the right enhancements for a Street car w/o run flats... since BMW got it so wrong...for me. Recent passenger this week -Audi 2.0T pilot- remarked on the overall menacing cabin-sound...at idle. Does the pad retain then funnel sound aft-ward?. I think so. Is the pad bling, then? Yes. Is it a weight penalty? No. Is it quiet? Yes. Does it make on-throttle in-cabin louder? Perhaps. Verdict? It stays.
