Someone mentioned this to me regarding spacers in general. I'm wondering if it's ever a problem on our cars?

This has been brought up a number of times, likely it would have it would appeared first on the e46 models since they touched US soil back in 2001. For example - 30mm spacers are a common first upgrade for X5 owners, which are much heavier than our M3 brethren with 0 reports of issues and have been here since 2000.
The GT4 M3 even comes pre-equipped with spacers from BMW.
BMWs are not the only vehicles to utilize spacers. With the minimal amounts we're discussing about on M3 applications, I doubt this is even an issue to be concerned about.
