CAN'T FIND HOW TO FLARE OUT e90 REAR FENDERS TO MATCH M3 BUMPER
Does anyone have a DIY on this? If I can't find out how to do this, I might just go with the M-Tech rear bumper, but really trying to keep this to a DIY for myself, which is going well so far for other projects. I have all the tools I need, I just need some help! Thanks!

You realize this isn't as simple as rolling your fenders right? The easiest way is to cut off the old fenders, then weld on another wider piece from another car from the junk yard (someone has used the front fender of a Benz C class). You might also need a wider inner fender liner. Finally, you have to repaint.

This is not a simple DIY job...it requires bodywork.

The OP wants to flare the fenders to match/mate up with an actual M3 rear bumper...those add-ons pictured above won't help with that as the M3 rear fenders themselves are wider than the non-M3 pieces.

best case is get the m3 fenders. Either way it is a lot of body work. At least this way you are OEM. Another option is to modify the rear bumper to fit your non m fenders. Both have been done.
