tranny tunnel thermal insulation

[Rek]

thanks Rek, great information ... but one quick question, do you have A/C? that seems to complicate the console / installation a bit.

Nope.

you should have saved the form and started a cottage industry. bet you could sell a bunch of these Erik ... i looked on realoem and the heat shield on the e60 / e61 ... the part number appears to be 51487033723 - yikes its 175 bucks. a while back i bought one from an e28 - 51481881581 ( it is NLA though).

Well the buck was bloody easy.
I still have the part, unmounted, so reverse engineering a new buck out of it is even easier now.

Shipping would be a b*tch though, it's a big part.

I bought a used part. Plenty of those being slaughtered.
The e60/e61material is a wavy 2 layer aluminium. Must be available as sheet material somewhere.

good idea on used part, much cheaper. and, oh yeah ... shipping. i think the e28 part is also the 2 layer wavy aluminum material. i will have to pull that out and see if i can make it work - when i start going under the car. might be cheaper to sell a template on how to make it, and how to mount it. sell the brainwork rather than the actual work.
