Hey Mark-

Just a quick comment, the E28 M5 did actually have what can most easily be described as a "factory rolled" inner rear fender to permit the larger tires/wheels it came with, so you definitely do not have as much room-to-play with on a non-M5 E28, unless you do roll your fenders.

Hope that helps.

Hi Mark,
I just e-mailed you concerning coverlay dash covers. I'm running 16 x 7.5 et20 (20 mm offset)
BBS w/ Dunlop SP8000 225/50/16. I get an infrequent rub in back. I can almost leave it alone. I need a slight fender roll in back.
The problem would be worse if I had 3 or 4 passengers and a trunkload.
This wheel and tire setup is from an e28 M5,
I don't think the M5 had any fender mods.
At 186,000, I've recently replaced the bilsteins
and stock springs all around. If the suspension wasn't fresh, the rubbing would probably we worse.
As I've said, the car handles like a dream. It
thinks it's an M5.
Cheers, Mark Ludwig


Mark, what size are your tires?

Mark
