Sure and thanx ahead of time! Any contributions are welcome!

All contributors will be properly acknowledged and hopefully this will be accepted as an article for the homepage once its submitted.

I'm looking for pic contributors. Obviously, I can use some of my pics but it would be nice to have different ones. Also, I don't have every model X ya know!

If it's not a problem, could you send both versions to me directly. It'll save me some time.

No problem. We all know how many times we get asked these questions ... not that this is gonna stop it but it'll help a little.

Well, it's not my fault ... you've known about them for quite some time now!

Hey Twinspoppa, do you have any pictures showing the differences between the regular front / rear flares and the LeMans special edition front / rear flares?

I thought I posted pics of the Lemans version? Is it not showing up now? The only difference is the lower part of the rear flare - AKA bumper support trim. Another is that comes as a kit. I don't know of any retrofit flare kit for the 4.6/4.8 type. The Lemans retrofit kit is also supposed to be for those people who buy the optional 20" wheel sets from BMW.

As a matter fact, I recently got a hold of the actual install instructions for that kit. I'll be posting a link soon. For you though, I'll email it to ya!

EDIT: Look here. This guy just posted and happens to have the Lemans Kit:
