when you were driving on a highway on your e39 did you bounce on white divider lanes like a lowrider?

P.S. I like the slammage a lot... a bit too much rake though. I look at it this way: the gap between the rubber and wheel arc whould equal on front and rear --> perfect rake.

Actually the rear was low, even with the front. I don't like rake stance. As you can see on top of my car, I have racks. Raised the rear up before I went to tahoe. :D Yes I drive in the snow slammed! Ahahah!

And for the fender, how so are they different? Man I need to get this confirm, don't want to buy useless part. :p

OK, so here is what I dealt with:

My car is an '87 325is.

Both front fenders were shit, as was the hood and doors, but that is a different story.

I drove a couple of hours out to Bend, way the hell up in the mountains, because one of the local guys there had an 86 325 with very nice condition black hood, fenders and door, for FREE!

So, it is like 99 degrees, 99% humidity, working with no shade in a dirt lot. I did think to bring TONS of tools, so I was all set there.

I pulled my fenders off, pulled the fresh ones off and tried to fit them. They lined up perfectly everywhere except the back edge. Turns out that the vertical panel inside the fender was shaped differently, there was an outward bulge on my '87 that was not on his '86.

Tanking like 1 inch, seriously, no big deal, but not gonna fit otherwise.

I attacked his fender with the tinsnips, took like 1 minute to make enough room to mount them. You cannot see where I cut when the fender is mounted, but there was no way in hell it would fit otherwise.

As they say, YMMV, but the fix took like 1 minute per side, so no big deal at all...but lots of guys here say that there is no difference...and I know better.

So what do you think should i pick up the 325i fender and put it on my vert?

Oh hell yes, I was only saying there is a difference in some.

Besides, I can already tell the 'vert is not gonna be an "only child".

OK so I just confirm with some guys over on the cosmetic forum. The fender will have to be swap with one for a vert. and the rad. support as well. Thanks for all you help guys!
