To rub or not to rub, that's the question

Below two pictures posted on the German 1M forum (the second picture is of an early 2012 build 1M). Do you see any difference in design and/or mounting ? (source: http://www.1erforum.de/bmw-1er-m-cou...ml#post1438743) (http://www.1erforum.de/bmw-1er-m-cou...ml#post1438926)

Anyone in the US have this change made?
I am noticing a rub when turning to the left (mostly when backing up) in the front right fender. I have not noticed the left front fender rubbing. Not only is this annoying (least of my concerns) but I don't want to mess up the fender liner or the tire! |

"I visited my dealer for another reason.So if you experienced/noticed fender liner rubbing (check especially the front right), then keep your ears and eyes open during your next 1M service visit to the dealership. It might be that they raise the issue before you do. Here's a take on the issue, via two pictures of stock 1M wheels and tires, by a Belgian bimmer forum member (Andra): the "indent zone" of the fender liner should be sitting a little lower, more particularly in the tire versus fender liner "contact zone" (source: http://www.bimmerboard.be/forum/inde...opic=26797.315). Seems to make sense IMHO. Furthermore, he correctly pointed out that rubbing tires can be a reason to fail a pass at the motor vehicle inspection in Belgium.

Maybe this is BMW's way of telling us that we must lower our cars. We need to make the touch zone fall into the indent after all.
BTW, can we post pictures while using the app? |

Actually, it could make sense what you jokingly commented: it ain't excluded that the 1M was sitting a little lower in the fenders during development (no contact tire versus fender line due to compliant indent height), but suspension was fine-tuned a little higher in the final stages of the 1M development (more ground clearance). Fast development, as we all know. Consequence: rubbing due to a lower sitting "contact zone" ("indent zone" located a little too high) = compliance issue.

I had my front liners changed today under warranty.
The parts have the same code but no changes in the moulding form or mountings. So bottomline much a do for nothing. But I have some other serious probs. The upper and back liners at the front wheels showed some major holes due to wheelrubbing. I think this could be related to tracktime @ Spa. I've noticed a hole in the left wheel liner whereas there was none on the right side and Spa track has more right curvers/corners.

Many thanks for the update, gs! I thought about you yesterday because you had mentioned the date of the replacement works.
Quite worrying to see the merciless impact on the fender. Also does not seem healthy for the tires longevity. Have you noticed the reference on the sticker: "Achtung! E-82 M.Pyrat" ? Perfect idea for a decal on the outside of, for example, EINSER M.

Be careful, tire rubbing could lead to tire failure. I was in a car on the track with serious tire rubbing and we had no idea.
One lap after I got out the tire blew (120mph+) and the car slammed into the outside wall of a large banked curve , driver almost saved it. |
