41 00... Position Of Shaped Parts For Cavity Bulkhead (Coupe)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW 328xi, 2013 BMW 328i, 2012 BMW 328xi, 2012 BMW 328i, and 2011 BMW 328xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Cavity sealing is carried out in specific body areas in order to reduce internal noise and to reduce condensate. To do this, shaped parts are inserted in the cavities. These shaped parts adapt themselves optimally due to heating of the body to approx. 180°C by expansion to the shape of the cavities.
Because it is not possible to heat the body to this extent for a body repair, a Different Procedure has been specified for this situation.
