Rear fender liners missing?

[RickA1]

Took delivery of my M3 last weekend, and have noticed that the rear fender liners are just a fuzzy fabric like material. Is this normal, or am I missing the plastic fender liners like the ones I see in the front fender wells?

Thanks! Just seemed like a strange material to use in a spot that can take a lot of abuse. Has anyone had issues with deterioration in the rear fender wells?

Use of this material is common to other manufacturers. It’s used to reduce noise.
