I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what I’m looking at
All I know is it's for the cabin air filter. What's different?Quote:

Someone on the old m3forum made a replacement tray from either fiberglass or carbon for same purpose; weight savings.

I’m guessing it’s just cheaper for them to make that thick and heavy to mitigate heat soak from the engine bay into the HVAC.
This is what I do too. at least for like normal driving. For more spirited driving, I just stab the pedal with lower side close to the heel.Quote:
