The 3 series does not have the vent. Though aftermarket fenders are available for the 3 series to match the M3 Style. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-15-BMW-F...t/183099664661 And various others. |

Seemed like I would blow brake dust out the side vents onto the paint. |

Interestingly enough, I know what you're talking about, but I haven't seen any actual brake dust residue on fender or door

They're on the 4 series, and on the 3 series GT models, the latter being cosmetic only.

It's only on F32/F33/F36 4 series models.

You can swap it out for one with an actual cutout, but the inner ricer in me still likes it as a design piece so no plans to change it and deal with the dirt. Plus it's probably even less functional without a cutout in the fender liner for it. |

After experimenting with Carbon Fiber, Matte Black, Gloss Black and BSM, I had the vent and wing both painted BSM to match the car's paint. |

On my pre-LCI M-Sport F32 there is a hole in the front wheel liner on both sides and the vent we're discussing in the back. I don't think there is a lot of air flow going across the brakes, but at least it's something. |

It would put brake dust up the side of the car, but tbh, the partials would be so small youd only notice the "extra" dust when cleaning using an Iron Out product |

You must have a late model F32 then, as mine are functional not cosmetic.
