I got my fender today to install, it is a normal fender, no Z3 ****, but anyway. when i went to install it and put the bolts back in, when i open the passenger door the fender gets caught in the middle were the molding is, i cant seem to figure out why, i thought maybe the fender has to bulge out a little more in the middle or something, I need help! My door won't open correctly if i tighten everything down? What am i doing wrong?

 

can anyone help me? come on

 

Try loosening the bolts and pushing the fender forward.

if all the bolts line up and everything seems right then it probably should be.. try what they said

 

Same thing happen to me, my fender dosn't fit right, i have a z3 one, and i always thought it was the fender that was fucked up, but i got hit at 50MPH on my driver side door and i almost lost my leg, but anyways the body shop who repaired the car, molded the door wrong and it's at a sailnt so they just moded the stock fender to make it look like it was ok, I have to ghetto mount the fender, it's being held by 2 blots, and i had to redrill a hole on the bottom of the fender, and put some washers under the bolt to make it fit right.

Here is how bad it looks, but no one really notices it anyways.

You can see where the fender hits the door,
Becuase the door is moded inwards the fender looks kind fucked up, and there is a small gap, but i can still open and shut my door.
