Question for the Lowered E90 m3's

Sean_Himself · 06-20-2016, 02:06 PM

Does anybody else continuously hit/pull this stupid felt piece under the front bumper?! I'm not even that low! What do you guys do with it?

I've scraped mine a couple times, but yours looks pretty shitty to be honest. Maybe time to replace it? Or refrain from dropping the car on it's nuts? I would love to do a nice suspension setup and some carbon fiber aero pieces, but my driveway would never allow it.

When I bought the car it was already haggard haha but the car isn't even that low and I still catch it sometimes. I don't want to replace it if im just going to beat it up again. I just don't understand why it hangs so low. I'm half tempted to just cut the dang pieces level with the bumper

I'm on Ohlins coils and didn't have issues with the felt until I had to drive my car onto a god damn uhaul trailer to bring it into service.

Do you take dips, speed bumps or driveways at an angle? If not, you should start. It'll save you the headache of having to constantly replace those felt pieces.

Oh yeah, I've learned to take all that stuff at an angle. Before the M3 I was doing that "stance" stuff with my E46 and learned real quick haha

In theory, you could pull them off, but the corner pieces are so cheap (about 80 a piece) I don't see why you wouldn't just replace them once or twice a year.

Learn to drive sideways on driveways

I just google map: street view where I'm going if I'm unfamiliar with the area.

Just hit it enough until it completely breaks off. Problem solved. I have torn thru both of mine. Not its nice and flat.

Elwolfe · 06-20-2016, 05:20 PM

I have a brand new one in my garage (the center piece, not the corners) and I'm debating whether or not to put it on... This is not uncommon at all unfortunately.

My GT4 splitter hangs MAYBE ... 2 inches off the ground at most. Learned a long time ago to just remove those pieces. Never looked back since. I'm not going to keep spending $80 dollars to replace them, that's absurd... that's car parts money.

Tracyis300 · 06-20-2016, 07:35 PM

B4 lowering, it got scrapped up and popped a few screws loose.
So knowing that it will get worst after lowering, I got creative and I cut it up to look like flaps!
Works like a charm against bumps

RAL9 · 06-20-2016, 09:27 PM

Bought mine lowered on H&R racing springs and the felt rubs all the time and looks wonky; getting mine replaced Friday...
