What is this part "officially called"?
Hi,
I have a BMW 325i 2002 4dr sedan. Right in front of the front wheels, there are pieces of black plastic, somewhat soft plastic, that sort of form "in front of the wheel mud flaps". This piece of plastic extends up the wheel wells and covers them. From examination, there are at least two pieces. The piece I am interested in is the mud flap portion, and it covers the wheel well from about 3'oclock up to about 1:30'oclock. What is the official name of this piece? I've searched the net, and the closest I've seen is this: http://shop.car-body-parts.com/bmw-3...s-b222109.html But that seems to be the 2nd part, which goes up from 1:30'oclock onwards. It doesn't seem to have the piece that extends down to form the little mud flap/splash guard thing. That part I am looking for seems like it would be the companion piece to this. To finish covering the wheel well and form the mud flap. Thanks. |

Those parts are typically the kinds of parts that come from the dealer only.
If you go to the dealership, the Parts Guy will bring up the picture, and you can point out the parts you want.

Off to the dealer > > These parts are generally called fender liners, or live next to what is called a fender liner. If you ask for a fender liner, the Parts Guy will be able to bring up the right page, and you can pick your parts from there. I have replaced a couple of these parts on my 3 Series because the damn parking curbs like to jump up and take a bite. Anyway, I have found that most of the stuff under there that looks like a fender liner costs in the range of $25 (USD). HINT, It is much easier to work in the area if you take the tires off. I have tried a variety of schemes to work in the area, nothing works as well as getting the jack out and taking the tire(s) off. |
