Replacement fenders?

haaken675 · 02-15-2021, 07:50 AM

Hey everyone. I am essentially rebuilding an e92 that was not taken care of at all...I am finding more and more missing pieces, brackets, broken parts, etc. The latest would be I found out wile installing my new bumper that the passenger side fender is broken and the mounting point for the bumper isn't there anymore....So clearly I am going to need to get a replacement.

Is there a good aftermarket replacement, or is OEM the only option for a direct replacement? I haven't seen any non-oem listed part that has ok reviews. OEM is somewhere in the neighborhood of $400/side, and at that pricing I can get M3 rep fenders.....

I would check with salvage yards and the forums first, some are even lucky enough to find the correct color for their car.

There are no coupes at the local yards. I also am not waiting for months to find one if I am lucky on a forum...I need a replacement quickly, hence why I am asking if anyone has tried any of the aftermarket brands. .Nearly every manufacture out there has good quality parts you can order that ae not PEM, and i'm just looking for that.

It looks like a couple good options on eBay if you're in a hurry.

If you have links I’m curious to look. I checked eBay and didn’t see anything that caught my eye. Plenty of e90 fenders, a few overpriced e92 fenders that would require me to do the sanding, filling, priming, etc. prep work which to me negates the price they want....a buddy of mine bought m3 rep fender and the fit is ok. Id rshurt spend th money and get something extra for it if I’m going to have to work anyways. I’m so limited on time at this point it’s getting not funny anymore. 1 toddler, another almost here...my e30 motor swap turbo track build has been grossly neglected thanks to my e92, and I barely have time for either of the em lol

Lonestar imports in Houston will have the E92 fender for sure. That us if they have power this week.
