Default fender liner questio

So I need a new driver side wheel liner but my car is M-tech bumper and I was wondering if the fender liners from a regular 545i will fit mine with mtech bumper

When you installed the M-tech kit did you have to install new wheel liner? If so you will most likely need to order from them. If not, it should fit.

The front wheel housing cover for E60 is different for vehicles with the M Aero package.

For example, 5' E60 LCI 535i Front side panel

Best to look up your part number and compare with part number of the vehicle where the replacement is from. I had a previous pre-LCI E60 retrofitted with the M Aero kit from Germany. The body shop had to make a minor alteration to the front wheel housing cover.

Is your bumper an OEM M sport aero package or is it an MTech bumper?

The 2004 pre-LCI E60 had the OEM M Sport aero kit retrofitted (kit not officially available in North America),


The 2010 LCI E60 had the OEM M Sport aero kit as part of the factory M Sport option.

you can use a regular fender liner and trim to fit.

I have a 2008 E60 LCI and am currently retrofitting a OEM Msport bumper.

The problem I am having is that the fender liner is different and I am not sure if I can trim it. Does anyone have any experience?

I really do not want to pay for the MSport fender liner.

Trim it per the OEM instructions. No need to buy Msport fender liners.

@KyleB: Does this work for LCI as well? I think you mentioned you had Pre-LCI. I have not found anyone that has experimented with LCI.

Do you have access to TIS I am looking for EBA: 0398692.
