not 100% sure, but believe 4.6 and 4.8 are different (wider), or they are at least on the 4.8

The 4.6 and 4.8 I believe are wider for the staggered wheel setup.

Do a search for fender flares.

Does anyone know for sure? Maybe I need to contact the my BMW parts department and have them compare with their parts manuals.

I believe the wider flares were only used with the 20" wheels, ie: 285 front and 315 rears. Standard on the 4.6 and 4.8, optional extra on the 3.0L and 4.4L.
