I just got the wind deflector for the moonroof on the e70. BMW won't pack the installation instructions with their parts. One call to the dealer and he faxed me the instructions. Give them a call and you should get the same results. Good Luck!

By the way, what did the flare kit cost?

I don't know of any site where you can download BMW install instructions. Would love to find one. Dealer's have it all on disk from what I've been told. By the way, did you want mudflap as posted above or fender flares instructions? Oh, and what was the price of the flares? I'm thinking about a set.

It is quite easy, all you need to do is push in with a fine screwdriver all platic rivets and replace the flare, just remember to buy all new plastic rivets since they are not reusable.

The plastic ribets are not reusable????
Why the ribets not coms with flares kit? dang...
Do i need to buy the plastic ribets from dealer?

I'm wondering why everyone mentions 20" when they say fender flares. I see no reason why you can't get them if you have 19" wheels, am I right?

I know they are wider, but do the rear 20s actually stick out beyond what the 19s do?

1) You must buy new plastic rivets, they do no come with flares.
you can get it from the dealer or at a hardware store.

2) You can not order the car with it unless you get the 20's or 21's
the rear wheels on both options are 20x11, see now why?

3) Most people with oversized wheels buy the wider flares since they look
better than the flat ones, flat ones does not look good with wider wheels.
