Pictures of my fender

ppjev · 02-15-2017, 11:35 AM

Hello guys, could you please share with me how your rear and front fenders look like? Mine look like the photo in this picture. And dealer told me that this is normal, and that is how it should be. First time I see fenders to look like this. Also, it will not let me use 20mm spacers. And I know guys on this forum use them with no scratch.

Could you please share some pictures of how your fenders look like? Thanks!

Damn, do you have a wide body kit installed?

NewM3driver · 02-15-2017, 06:55 PM

When was the last time that thing got cleaned?

PodDoc · 02-15-2017, 09:16 PM

Is it just me? I have no idea what OP is talking about with the given pic.

Brasko · 02-15-2017, 10:06 PM

I would be more concerned with the brake dust/dirt covering the wheels.

I think he is referring to the gap between the fender and fender liner.

I think so too and I don't think that is normal.

I heard that duct tape cures everything.
But it doesn't look normal. Could be thermal damage

Guys, car is dirty at the moment, that is correct. The question was about the gap of the fender and the body. And I just asked if some one can upload the picture of his own M3, just to compare. My BMW dealer told me that it is ok, since other side is exactly the same. That was their only explanation.

So, please, could you please just go to your car, take the picture and upload?

thanks!

When it is clean, it looks like this:

Beautiful car...but that neighborhood looks very "Chernobyl-ish."

haha, I knew some one would write that. But in Europe this is a normal neighborhood. Flats in these houses would cost one around 100 000 - 150 000 euro at least. It is not the most expensive area, but it is nice

Any one can share the picture of their fenders?

frankiebones · 02-16-2017, 10:04 AM

i have spent a lot of time in europe and am familiar. what area is this by the way?

whats with the Texas license plates?

The euro equivalent of Americans leaving euro plates on?

Amazing!

Fast4d · 02-16-2017, 11:01 AM

that's how mine is but it's been removed once so the paintless dent removal guy can access.

the other side is more flush but still a gap.

Until someone posts a pic, your best bet is to go back to the dealership and look at one of the M3/M4s they have. Don't they have any in the showroom or in the service area?

Im running 15mm all around and I think there is enough room to push to 20mm although would be tight.
