So took my wife to the doc's today. I drop her at the front door. Backing up to park the E90, I hear a rubbing/scraping sound from the left rear; fck, now what's wrong! After the appointment, backing up again, we both hear the same sound; I'm thinking maybe the parking brake is dragging (BTY, it's adjusted perfectly).

At the pharmacy, I get out, look at the right rear wheel. I see the problem. Open the rear door. Take care of it. Get back in, continue to back up, no sound! My wife says, "You can fix anything!" I just smiled, reached behind my seat to the passenger footwell, and showed her the long rubber air deflector that sits in front of the rear wheel...

Lol. Yeah, it had torn laterally across the top from inboard to outboard and was hanging on by a 1/4" of rubber. The inside edge was dragging on the pavement.

Well, it was old and seen a lot of miles. Probably a stick got it when the chassis was sitting low of the POS Bilsteins and H&Rs.

And no, I've never used gas treatments.

I went back to stock M-sport suspension. It's now broken in. It's a perfect balance of comfort, handling, and ride height.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
