I can see Don's point but don't we need a flux capacitor in here somewhere? :???:
how hard are these to find? I know I don't have mine either
We hit 114F yesterday.
Did you do the heater bypass mod ? That's good for about 5F drop in the cabin.
There is also a foam thingy under the shifter to help block heat from the tranny.
You are right on Dynamat. I laid down about 50lbs of Dynamat and it didnt do a damn thing.
Dynamat does not work - but this does. I have it in mine and there is no heat transference.

If 106 degrees in L.A isn't hot enough without AC, what are the tried and true cost-effective measures to prevent heat building up in the cabin ? There is a lot of heat that comes from the transmission area. I've read old posts of heat shields and exhaust wrap etc. Old posts on Dynamat didn't seem to do the trick either.
The part refered to in the begin (BMW part no 51481832850) has been used by others, and was judged by others to perform reasonably well.
I made this additional heat shield a while back. It continues from the edge of the 51481832850 part.
A lot of work , but hopefully effective.
