Deda! Sorry for the delay.

The tires rubs off on the rear section of the underneath fabric of the car. If you notice real carefully the hair particles are somewhat combed upward. I took a photograph where it's leaving the rub marks on the fabric.

Can you check it,please..there must be some marks,when tire touch inside plastic.

However,i think that solution might be slightly narrow tires..maybe size 275,rear tire.
I guess i could always cut that fabric section to remove the issue completely.

REAR:
6mm MORE inner clearance, (0.24")
However, Extends 44mm on the outer exterior (1.73")!!!
The rear is a bit wide here....

FYI, the M5/M6 343s are a slightly better fit:
FRONT
7mm less inner clearance (0.28")
Extend 5mm exterior (0.2")
REAR
3mm less inner clearance (0.12")
Extend 23mm on exterior (0.9")

I like the 433s, but the rear are really wide to begin with 10.5" versus original 9" AND they extend out 1.73"...maybe should go with the 343s, or save money and stick with the MSport 373s!!!
Those numbers make sense, since 433 is 0.5" wider than 343!
Do you have 433 on your car?
When I was getting my car, dealer has installed 433 and marked up $4400. I asked them to remove the rims and put the original 343. Then I figured out that 433 is original M6 GC rim. They are nice rims, wider and more flashy but a little heavier than 343 and non forged.
BTW, these guys installed 433 on M5 and M6 convertible:

Off course. The 6 series has a wider track. So the 433s actually look conservative on a five.
The reverse however is a different story

Hello,
thanks for reply..

Could you please do me a favor..

Please tell me how much mm or inch/es your rear wheel and tire are out..i need exact data.

That will help me a lot,because 343M rear wheel from M5 is 10J X 20 and 343 rear wheel from M6 is 10,5 x 20,so its 0,5J(12,7mm) wider on M6,plus 433M that you have on your car is 21mm wider then 343M because it has lower ET.

So in the end it makes almost 1,5 inch(32,7mm),which makes me more then sure that wheels from M5 will fit perfectly on normal,non M 6 series.

I don't have a measure tape but base on some research from [davuusM6GC]. He state that it stick out 1.5 out more than the 343. "davuusM6GC - After my research, the 433s stick out 1.5" more than the 373s!"

The stolen one was from BMW parts department. The replacement was from eBay. The website you listed is seems because the one from eBay are shipped from Taiwan. Had to pay the guy $20 to expedite the shipping from 28 days 3 days.

Go with aftermarket!!! It's a perfect replication of the original. Plus your trunk will thank you for it. The OEM are rubberized and heavy.

OEM was so heavy, my truck would struggle to raise and it would just stay half open. Lol!!

Can everyone help me! Take OFF or leave ON?

This may be the cheapest MOD ever (FREE)!

My friend this past weekend who has a 3 series gave me some crappy trio-grille stripes he bought as a set.

I thought i put it and let the weekly car washing routine blow it off.

Well,

I love performance kidneys..i got one pair on mine x6..however this looks like a little cheap.

I think black will look much,much better.

Most important thing is if you like it.

I have been looking on eBay for a spoiler that fits the Gran Coupe, but all descriptions for M6 style 6 series spoilers say, "not for 4 door model/gran coupe." is this correct or incorrect?

Even the OEM says only for coupe. It's the same butt-lid. The eBay i bought it was for coupe but it's a direct fitment for the GC.

ok thank you. I'm not sure why they would miss out on a sale by saying it does not fit when it does. Also what do you think about a top/roof spoiler. Also what do you think about this add on:
