Front mud flaps don't fit my 2011 135i Coupe

jbudro · 10-27-2010, 09:12 PM

I've searched the forum regarding my subject line topic to no avail. The problem is the front mud flaps I purchased from united Part#82160309650 do not fit my 2011 135i properly.
I'm not blaming them, as this is the part number specified on the BMWusa website, but was more interested to know if anyone else has encountered this issue, and what they did about it.
The basic problem is that only one of the little plastic center-post expansion fastner holes line up along the rim of the fender--the top one on the mud flap to be exact. This hole lines up with the middle of the three fasteners on the car itself. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

I was thinking about getting me a set, but I've never seen any body post pictures of them mounted... do the rear ones fit? can you post some pictures of your problem?

The forum search feature revealed a dozen or so different pictures of 135i's with fronts and rears installed...that's what convinced me to get them. Oh, and yes, the rears fit like a glove. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow.

Further inspection of the parts show that they are stamped with product numbers 82-16-0-395-946 on the right and 947 on the left. Anybody ever heard of these? I can't find those part number referenced anywhere...
