Since I'm putting in a new headliner, figured I'd improve the factory soundproofing a bit.. ordered from www.cmttrading.com 2 boxes of dynamat xtreme a total of 72sq feet. that should do it ;)

The best part of the deal. They have dynamat xtreme for $107 and you can pick it up locally instead of ship.. retail price on the stuff is $250 :o what a rip off..

I'll take some pics and let you know how it turns out.

I dunno if it is cheaper better faster but, it is an option. The stuff is a composite of heavy sheet sandwitched between light, squishy foam with a reflective surface and, it already has an adheasive backing. If it will quiet down a pair of 1485hp v12 diesels

it should perform adequately for your needs.

good luck

thanks..

Just checked out the wurth stuff. If my math is right

wurth 69.95

(20" * 8") * 10 sheets = 1600 sq inches = $0.0437 / inch

dyanmat $107

(18"x 32") * 9 sheets = 5184 sq inches = 0.0206 / inch

ends up being bout twice as expensive

just filling the space under the rear seat with chunks of packing foam (or even styrofoam peanuts in plastic bags) will make the interior a lot quieter. Then put household carpet padding under the carpets and up the firewall under the carpet. Insulating the roof helps, but most noise comes from the road and things mechanical like the engine and diff.

Cheers

I went to K-Mart and got cheap foam regular sized pillows and put a pair under the rear seats on all 3 of my '02s. Does indeed help.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
