Anyone Else Missing Hood Insulation?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com For reference, here's a 2022 X6M.

Yep I noticed a few days ago. Holes are there, but no insulation.
Mine is a 2022 Comp XDrive

I thought that the M cars deliberately had less sound deadening and insulation in order to give the driver a more raw driving experience.

It’s a race car, of course there’s no insulating pad.

My E92 M3, F80 M3 and current M2 don't have it... it's intentional.

Neither of my two previous F80s had hood insulation and my 2021 G80 doesn't. I did not even know hood insulation was a thing until this thread. I guess non of my past cars have had it.

Hood insulation is not something you want sitting over a pair of heat generating turbos.

Yep, it'll be intentional, my pre-LCI/non-Comp pack F82 doesn't have it either. It does have the OG carbon fibre driveshaft though

My 2002 M3 had it. Probably they stop using it after that.
