Here’s a TDI bit of info that is probably useless to you.

The e9x coupe and convertible (e92 and e93 respectively) have plastic front fenders, like a Saturn or a first gen CRX. The e90 M3 would also have them as it has the coupe front end.  They can and will crack. I first noticed this on a local e93 with a chunk of its drivers side fender missing and I though “that can’t happen with a metal fender, that looks like what happens to Saturn’s “dent resistant” panels”

My theory was confirmed by a Hoonigan Bonus video where one of the staff’s e93 had a cracked fender do it being lowered and the tire rubbing on the fender.

Neat. Speaking of Saturns, I love them. A girl on my street got rear ended, took out the rear driver’s quarter and knocked the bumper cover off. Her dad pulled a (same color) quarter from a junkyard car and two days later it looked the same as pre-Jeepfight. Saturns are so cool.

For a quick second I thought this was E90M3's bimmer and went all: NNNOOOOOOO, he just paid it off and got in an accident?!?!?!?

But plastic fenders..cool.

This is genuinely interesting and something I never would have guessed. Thanks for sharing! This is good Oppo.

I know the 2nd gen does. My ex-wifes had what looked like a door ding on the edge of the left front fender at delivery. I asked the salesman to have a PDR guy fix it, and then f ound out it plastic. All the X5's they received that week had it. I guess it was a temporary problem with the mold?
