Mud Guards on E90 D3 Biturbo

Post by Wellsy » Thu Oct 21, 2021 1:37 pm

Hey guys,

Any E90 D3 BT owners out there who can help, I've fitted rear mud guards but the passenger side rear doesn't seem to fit well, the inside edge of the mud guard has nothing to fix against. So although the guard fits nicely I can notice when I'm cleaning the car that it can move around so concerned It may get ripped off during the winter months coming up.
Does anyone have rear mud guards fitted and can take a few pictures underneath the bumper showing how the inside edge of the guard is fixed.

I asked this same question on the BMWCC Forum but didn't get anything in reply,

Cheers all Mark.

E9x arches I think are rolled slightly to fit the Alpina alloys so perhaps this has something to do with it? Try and get a look at a standard E90 to compare. But what is the difference between the two sides, why is the driver’s side OK?

hi ya,

The guard fits mostly to the bumper and the inner arch. The rolled arches are the car part so doesn't affect the guard. This is what I'm thinking I am wondering why the passenger side is different to the drivers. The passenger side does have the exhaust coming through so think the inner arch liner is a different shape.
I need someone to lay under their car with guards and take a picture so I cam compare to mine.

Hi Mark,

It looks like the nearside has an additional support bracket .....

L - R: nearside rear 1, nearside rear 2, offside rear.

Hope this helps!
