I have a set on order. Having been a product planner at an automotive, I am fairly confident that these will have a beneficial effect. Basic product planning is to launch year one with the "best foot forward", year two is stable as engineering changes from launch year are made, and awareness/volume continues to build. But, it is also product planning 101 that cost reductions should be found and typically start mid-way through a cycle, such as year 3. For them to add cost and weight with "unsexy" parts in year 3 tells me these parts are addressing a concern and should make a noticeable difference in vehicle NVH.

Those sealing parts are on the
ETK for diesel F22 in order to encapsulate engine and not spread its disgraceful sound...
F20 114d LCI I had from dealership during last service had them.
I noticed too that my M235i doesn't have them.
Maybe there is no need to have them on M235i...
Keep us informed with your testing
