I've had my M-Tech installed for some time now and I just realized my front right wheel is rubbing against the fender liner. I boughtt he front bumper off of a forum member and we installed together. The rest of the kit was bought new from Gary Romani and professionally installed at a reputable body shop. I know the fender liner was not trimmed as specififed when we installed. I would prefer not to trim the liner.

Is there an M-Tech specific Fender liner that I can buy and install that does not require trimming?

 

It might be that the fender liner has now a curb somewhere, if it's not trimmed. As far as I know, there's no a specific inner fender liner for the mtech. I recommend you to trim the liner, because you can always buy the original untrimmed if needed.

 

Thank you for the reply! I only ask as I know some cars were leaving the factory with the M-Tech installed, and I am sure they would not waste time at the factory trimming the OEM Fender Liner. I remember seeing different part numbers on LCI Model E60's on realoem. But nothing listed for earlier E60's. Will a fender liner from an LCI fit a Pre-LCI?

 

I'm curious also, is there such a part or which section on the liner do I need to trim? I recently put on the Mtech front and 166 wheels with the recommended tire size for the Non-M E60. Every time I'm on the freeway and encounter a dip, the front would rub a bit.

 

According to RealOEM the part numbers are the same for pre-LCI and LCI cars.

What you guys might want to do is remove the liner, heat up the area that is rubbing and push it out more. That should give you more clearance. A heat gun will work fine unless you want to bust out the propane torch.

 

i'll try that

 

+1 on the suggestion.... Be careful did this and held it to close, liner will definitely melt.
