M235i Racing/M2 wide arch kit

If this wide arch bodykit become available to buy does anyone know how big you can go with spacers? The kit just looks like it is painted then bonded onto the existing panels. I need this on my car!

To each their own I guess, but overkill for me.

With a kit like that you should go with wider wheels, not wider spacers.

Yeah you're right, I've found out the wheels on this car are 10" wide at the rear so it would be a very expensive upgrade changing wheels and tyres. The power would go down on the road nicer though, probably best to see if they just put this on the M2

IIRC BMW sells the Z4 GTE kit at certain dealerships through the motorsport program in the US, so I'd imagine this kit would be for sale as well. If its anything like the GTE kit, you'd had to do extensive cutting and modifications to the fenders. Pricing wise, I'd imagine it'd be more or less in the same neighborhood ($30k+ USD)

Looks like they went to home depot and added dry wall to the fenders...only works on the track, big fail on the streets
