I wasn't contacted either. It was at the first service, and she said it was on the to-do list. I must open the bonnet and take a look, though, as three other things on the to-do list were not completed, and it needs to go back.

I thought it was only B57 engines had the cowling issue ?. Make sure they check the to do list more thoroughly this time inc the front prop shaft just in case.
I take my B57 in for its 2nd year service next week, I'll check if my engine cover gets replaced.I thought it was only dei

Oh that's interesting, I'd like to see that bulletin if you have it.
I didn't see any bulletin. I booked the car in for an annual service, and when going through my list of issues, I was told they had a new engine cover in for me as it was on their list of campaign items.
No was the correct answer by you, but it's a headscratcher to me why this wouldn't be covered under warranty. What was the dealer's logic?
Does it potentially cause the hood to get too hot damaging the paint?
I took mine off when I first got the truck over a year ago because I never think that a "pretty" heat blanket benefits an intercooled turbo motor , and despite living in NM, the hood doesn't get any warmer than with the cover, and no paint damage at all to the Scottish White color, your mileage ( and/or darker colors) may vary
Why would someone pay $700.00 for a piece of plastic? You can buy brand new Carbon Fiber for a fraction.
My alloy bonneted old Porsche 928 has alloy intake runners a few cm below the metal. With no insulation. Paint is untouched despite plenty of heat, as these engines run fairly hot.
It’s not much difference when you’re inside with the hood latched. Maybe a bit tappet-y until you get distracted by the turbo noises,
Yep mine was replaced about 18 months ago (Australia) under a standard recall from Ineos.
B58?
B57 diesel trialmaster station wagon.
There isn't much sound deadening to ABS plastic but maybe . There is no benefit to the engine cover aside from the esthetic value and I was underwhelmed by the IG OEM cover. I am not a great fan of insulation covering a turbo engine so there is that. My like new / used BMW cover was $150 off a '24 sedan.
