BMW 428i Grancoupe Front wheel well panel deformation

FinalRenegade · 12-22-2017, 07:33 AM

Hey friends!

so I noticed the little plating behind the foglight assembly at the front wheels (it is also used to cover up the air vents coming from the front bumper)
Got deformed, and there is now a visible gap where water can flow into the foglight assembly, should I be worried, and I have no idea why it was deformed.

How easy is it to replace/repair?

I'll post some pictures soon

Thanks!

It looks like that piece is held on with 2 screws. You can find the part # at:

If the car is still under warranty I'd look for the dealer to replace it. Good luck!
