You wouldn't be the first. My guess is #17 here, but I'd do a search on the board b/c I know it's been discussed. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...27&hg=51&fg=75

I've gone through 3 on the R one on the L...

Do a search for "brake ducts" or look in the FAQ sticky.

Confirmed - see previous post

Re: Opps - the curb jumped out and bit my car!

It sounds like you are mentioning the "center" section which got the gash in it? The BMW part numbers are:
51-71-2-498-988 (Center)

The left and right pieces are wheel well liners as well as lower liners. The BMW part numbers here are:
51-71-2-498-989 (Left)
51-71-2-498-990 (Right)

This is definitely a DIY job, since it is easy to do. Order the parts from Pacific BMW and you'll save some $. By the way, if you want the wheel well liners with the hole already cutout, the M-Technic versions are:
51-71-2-694-832
51-71-2-694-899

Its all one piece, all the way up to the brake ducts.

Be sure to order a few of the screws (2 types), washers and clips that mount these parts.

My temp sensor wire is dangling freely and it shows OAT -40C.
Couldn't locate the sensor yet.... (lost?)

Looks like i have two options for replacement splash guard; the original or the one with brake ducts.

Which one would be better for Dinan CAI since the filter is sitting in this area?

c4m5 · 29th April 2008, 08:59

With air channel (brakes ducts)..

And it won't affect Dinan CAI fliter service life?
