I'm still hoping for aftermarket shells that will give more clearance.
Why the hell would BMW make the SAME MISTAKE in the S85 and S65 as they did in the S54, where they had to do a recall???

The S54 situation has absolutely nothing in common with the S85/S65.

There are a whole host of reasons why the design clearance ended up at these values as has been discussed over and over herein.
