Mine have been replaced on friday and i have the feeling it's worse than with the standard fender liner. Talked to my dealer today, gonna bring him the car on wednesday to check that. I am running 19" stock wheels, stock size and no lowering.
Puma number is 49636119-01 |

How is this even possible? Are you sure they put the "revised" part in? Because the part numbers of fender liners are not changed, maybe they just put another old part Or maybe they just failed to install it properly! All the other people were claiming that new fender liner effectively cures this slight rubbing issue, and some even claimed that if we upgrade to 255/35/19tires on front it still doesn't rub with new liners which is a good motivation for me to do this asap, so I am really looking fwd to what you will listen at the dealer. Please post your findings.

My dealer told that a lot of people complained about the new parts. What they basically did with mine was, they heated up the area where the wheels were rubbing and pushed it further in. Maybe in the future BMW will release new revisited parts. Will ask again in a few weeks.

Today, stopped by the BMW dealer and asked about the PUMA on these liner replacement. Gave them the number, also for the liner part numbers and showed them the diagram and the actual piece on the car. Nothing passed through their skin. They checked in their system through my car's key and said there is none. Not surprised by the reply I told them to check again and if necessary ask it from Germany. I am going to be surprised if anything good comes out from this though. I'll wait around a week and then either ask Germany to instruct them (I do it quite often, this is how my relationship with the local dealer started around 2 years ago when I fought back their meaningless insistance that no 2000 km. service is needed). Of course, they took their revenge when it was time for my first service by putting wrong oil, despite many warnings and before that by stealing the M mobility system's compressor from the trunk when I left the car for installing BMW steel pedals.
They paid the proper price in both cases and some got embarrased but still after this wonderful experience I stopped going there totally and I behave like my car has no warranty too, works better imo, at least I don't need to worry what kind of damage they will make to the car everytime I go. Probably soon I will buy and install them myself. Despite being the most amazing car I've ever owned this is sooo my last BMW!

Too bad that the BMW reputation is tarnished by a dealership like yours apparently failing to meet BMW minimum quality/service standards.

I will try to stick with the 1M as long as I can but I almost hope that BMW won't produce another very tempting car so that I can easily leave this behind as a bitter-sweet memory (sorry, getting selfish a bit). It really is the phenomenon of record sales numbers all around the Globe killing the expected BMW quality.

Just got my liners replaced today. Before they were changed I tested out the old liners by parking the car with the wheels at full lock to the left and placing a liece of paper in between the tire and liner. It was so close that it held the paper in place. With the new liners I can visually see that there is at least 1/4" room minimum...maybe more. You can easily see how they have modified the liner. I am wondering if those of you who say its worse just got the same old liners. Anyway....I will be getting 255 pss soon!

Replaced mine on my own dime and took some side-by-side comparison pics to better depict the changes.
Top picture is driver's side (right is new one) Bottom picture is passenger side (left is new one)

Parts installed yesterday and the tech says that it is still rubbing and might be slightly better. However, a pleasant surprised when driving today - no more rubbing on the usual places. Only at full lock now, and can faintly here it rubs. So definitely a big improvement to the old part. It might be visually still rubbing, but probably no way near as bad.
