Wheel arch extension retrofit

[BGReddy00]

Has anyone found these for a good price recently? I am seeing as high as $400 from the dealer.

Try online from websites like onlinebmwparts or getbmwparts. They offer pretty good prices! I ordered mine from them when it used be under $130.

I checked both of those sites, and BMW really hiked the prices due to the demand. Onlinebmwparts has it for $326 and GetBMWParts has it for $347. I have found a dealer here in Florida that is $229 plus shipping,but I think thats the best I'm going to get.

The price has tripled in the past months. I was ready to order at $114 now the kit is $400 and still rising!

For anyone that is interested still..I was able to confirm the price mentioned:

Contact Joe Smitha at Ferman BMW (888) 214-6011 for $229 + Shipping

Just a bump and an update...

Just installed the arches on my 2010 X35D today. I used the Marson tool and it was easy, just needed to turn the front wheels to access all the rivets.

The arch kit retrofit that I bought from Ferman worked with one exception. It looks like the '10 has one rivet hole at the top of the front fenders that are offset from the retrofit kit.

Weird, I lined them up and just this one hole is off by about an inch. I left the rivet off (of course) in this one position. The fenders are a composite material so drilling is an option- however, I have to believe that this is offset for a reason. (full disclosure: the kit was bought from Ferman on E-Bay, so maybe there is a retrofit kit for '10's that's different.)

Anyone install this on their '10 X35D and see the same thing?

I also found this to be the case as have a few others. I bought a small plastic plug that fit perfectly and sealed the hole on each side.

Thanks, I found Da Ripper had the same issue, so I guess it's just a change on the '10's.

Like I said, weird...
