Incredible...well, unless there's a fix implemented soon, my options have opened up again.

It will happen with ALL large wheeled vehicles where the tires stick out farther than the body. The is not a BMW problem, it is a physics problem. If you can bend the laws of physics so that debris coming off the tires in a vertical forward motion can now come off in horizontal forward motion, you will have fixed the problem!

If it's a physics problem then the buyer should not be responsible for the "fix". Engineers should've accounted for that during R&D! I have a couple vehicles with rather large wheels...the largest being 315/35/20 on my E53 4.6iS with 30mm spacers in the rear. Although they are not painted, there is zero damage to the rockers and fender flares. |

I had the exactly same problem with my 2004 ML320 with the sport package and large painted lower fender flares. In one year of driving, the paint was all pitted and starting to wear through. The only answer to this problem is to clear bra the area from the start. My 2000 E320 wagon even had this area covered from the factory as this was a know problem.

This is an incredible car/truck. Do not let this minor issue deter you from the experience. Buy it. Then have it trucked over to someone who can 3M the front, hood, fenders, rockers and rear fenders. M |

Reading the entire thread, clear bra is only a fix for few months before its needs to be replaced again...And it has to be thicker than normal clear bra as the stones will go through the regular clear bra..

Yes, there is different grades of it available. The stuck on my old MB wagon was very thick, almost like the old Xpel headlight film thickness.
