All 3 BMWs "not dirty" and at home during the day...

Sunday morning, washed all three BMWs and did some "spring cleaning" for the MZ4 Coupe, polished, glazed, paint sealant, and waxed it so it'll be good to go for maybe 6 months without anything but a simple wash to keep clean. The diesel was driven to Laguna Seca at the beginning of the month in rain and hail so it's filthy, the i3 sat outside all day every day so it's dirty due to spring pollens...

Finally all three BMWs relatively clean, and home at the same time while there's still some decent sunlight on a weekend. So I parked them on the driveway and took this shot.

Now I just need a hydrogen 7 to complete the collection.

Thank you! Fits perfectly. Actually discovered one of my bumper bracket (passenger side) has started to break apart, had to replace the bracket so it took longer than initially planned.

But with the added downforce and grip provided in high speed sweepers, and the massive 275 wide front tires, I should be able to pick up a few seconds at local tracks (all feature very high speed sweepers). Thank you for the splitter!

Took some work to get them to fit. Had to run 2 rear wheels up front. And need at least 3 degrees of negative camber. Also had to remove the helper springs on the KW Clubsport to clear. And had to tuck the fender liners behind the bumper so it doesn't rub the expanding rivets near full steering lock.

Even still a small part of the fender liner is worn away.

Good idea on the fender lining behind the bumper. I'm getting some minor rub in that area also with my 245 tires (stock camber) - will have to try that tuck behind the bumper trick. Is there any trick to getting the expanding rivets to "hook" into/onto the softer liner now that it's behind the more rigid bumper?

I didn't have any trouble getting the rivets to hook even with the liner behind the bumper, you just gotta push the bumper to get it to align to the holes in the wheel liner and the rivets pop right in.
