Hmmm. If we accept that removel of the piece doesn't affect rigidity of the car while driving, and we believe that BMW would have used some other material if the panel was not structural, it begs the question of what the panel is intended to do!

Most intriguing!

In the interest of discussing ( and not to piss off anyone!) do folks think that it may have been intended to prevent the cabin from splaying apart in a rear-end collision? If its not for rigidity of the car while driving, tha's all I can think of.

Cheers!
