Help: Fender Flare

[simoncpw]

Hi all,

The rear-left fender flare on my 4.6 popped out. So I'm trying to install it back.

Any idea what's the part number for these metal plates (from this link) and the extending rivets that hold the wheel arch trims to the body?

Thanks.

You need to buy the mounting parts set for the metal clips: 5117073517



As for the expanding rivets, they are 51111944537. You will need a plastic rivet gun for this, or get the push style rivets which a little more expensive, but easier to install. I'm not sure what the part number was for that.

You will need to buy the metal clips. BMW calls them "retaining springs"(i.e. bowed clips that slide onto the mounting tabs on the flares). Just line the taps into the slots. And the press the metal clips onto the tabs.

They are part "E" on the parts list. The BMW parts number is:
51-11-7-073-157
