Rocker Panel Blade?

Ok so i have a 435xiGC & im tryin to find this rocker panel blade

I understand that bmw doesnt make it for the 4cp or 4gc but i know they do make it for the m4cp

Are you talking about this? If so, yes you can purchase the ones meant for the M4 and they can be made to fit the 4 series but some small mods need to be made for a proper fit. Check out by build thread in my sig to see. I am just starting the mod process now.

Do you mean if the M4 side sills can be made to fit the coupe and gran coupe? Then yes.

asking to see if the sides needs to be trimmed the same way for the gc as for the coupe. if the M4 sides can be fitted on the coupe without any modification. I thought I saw some people fit it without any modification for the coupe.

Yes, people have installed with no modification. But to me if you want an OEM quality fit then some minor mods should be done.

They can fit, but it won't sit as good without the modifications in the thread above

I learned the hard way
