DIY: Replacing Wheel Well Liners

[old skool]

Part#5, if I am correct in understanding what you are referring to, is the "porkchop." This panel is different between the M3 and the non-M3. This part covers between the wheel well liners and the bumper. It fits to both of those parts.

Thanks - that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious -- which is a talent I have!

Excellent writeup -- I'll be doing this very soon as driving through 2 feet of water just obliterated what was left of all my brittle wheel well liner attachment points!

So just to confirm, the "wheel well liner" is the same thing as a "fender liner?"

Excellent DIY -- I just did this over the past weekend and it went great!

BTW, the plastic nut on the cover for the sensor box is 10mm.

Thanks for the write-up, I wanted to let people know that you DON'T have to jack and remove the wheels. Also the nut behind the cover was 10mm on my car.

There is an amazing story that related to wheel well. Last week, Pepe the pup found himself in a situation when he got caught inside the wheel of his owner's car. He was not found until the vehicle had traveled 10 miles, where he was freed unscathed. Oddly, it is the second story in the same week of an animal taking a wild ride, held in a bizarre place in a car. When have you required details concerning a new or pre-owned auto and resorted to an internet search on car loans. Look no further, all the details you will want is located at CarDealExpert.com!

my fender liner decided to fall down and grind itself into dust while I was on the highway....no noticeable noise at highway speeds and the radio turned up...so imagine my surprise when I stopped after driving about 3 hours to find the drivers side of my car covered in black plastic grime! Thankfully, nothing was damaged other than the fender liner.

there are options to add at least 5 more attachment points when you are installing new liners. you will need more square nut inserts, which can be found at ECS, link below. the locations are already marked on the liner where to drill. I found i had to keep enlarging the hole with a dremel as i got the thing all snugged and tucked in.

i also used plastic from my old liner and polyurethane adhesive to reinforce all the attachment points. it took a long time, but better now than inevitably repairing it later.
