You get what you pay for. $130 shipped for a pair of brand new side skirts...
They fit horribly. The clips are terrible. Sides are going to bulge out in certain areas and all the replica side skirts are long as in you'll have excess overhang. Plus why would you want e92 m3 style side skirts on a e90? Those side skirts don't look anything like OEM e90 m3 side skirts. |

OEM side skirts are original factory stock side skirts that come on the m3 4 door sedan. E90 is the sedan model of the 3 series.
E92 is the 2 door coupe model. All E90 replica m3 parts are based on the e92 m3 parts. Aside from the replica hood and front bumper, all other sedan replica m3 parts have the same design as the e92 M3. The sideskirts are different (made for 2 doors and the design that curves up is towards the mid rear of the skirt which is after the doors on the coupe, but on the sedan it curves into the middle of the rear doors if that makes any sense). The m3 replica rear bumper for the sedan is also based on the e92 coupe m3 as it follows the same lines as it's super boxy and sharp (opposed to the sedan m3 which is more round and curvy). Even the replica m3 fenders for the sedan copies the e92 coupe fender vents (opposed to the sedan bigger and flatter honeycomb fender vent). |
