Purchased & Installed Hood Installation
I bought the hood insulation for my X1 xDrive28i from Bimmerfox. The transactions was smooth and fast, since I am a 2-day ship point, I received mine in 2 days.
The hood insulation came well packaged and in perfect condition with the hood insulation and all fasteners needed along with instructions.
The installation is quick and easy -- no tools or special skills required! We're talking 5 minutes or less.
The X1 is definitely quieter, at idle in the garage I noticed the difference and on the road there is less engine noise.
I have read about concerns that the insulation will cause more heat build up after shut down, but I have seen new 528i and a 335i with hood insulation that were brand new. This leads to me to believe there is no hood insulation on the X1 because of BMW costing concerns to reach a target MSRP.
