Be aware that originals have a slightly different shape vs repro parts. It's the depth of them + the square off outer section.
More info in other threads on this forum.

easy way of saying it, is that many repor chrome arches are decorative and "hug" the existing body work, where as the originals were used to create more flare in the fender, for the wider 7 inch csl wheels.

What's the price your looking for?

the set is in good condition: chrome is in great condition though with a few small dents that can be worked out but carefully; the Lf is missing most of it’s black plastic bead trim where the other three are intact. The left rear one has been snipped (invisible once installed) in a few places to properly fit the wheel arch. With some work and polishing I think this set will look fine.
Asking $400/set OBO plus shipping

these are stainless steel

Wladek, knowing it’s difficult to identify the difference visually how did you conclude this via photo? The arches are not magnetic as I just tested them and ss may appear to be a little gray but didn’t realize this until now. Did the partial p/n give you a hint or? Thanks for the education.
with the BMW part number, these are the same as were used on the CSL - identifiable by the square formed edges of the arch (the aftermarket ones are rounded and did not have a BMW part number). the BMW arches only came in stainless steel

This set is actually stainless steel instead of chrome that I shared earlier. Thanks to those that shared this with me.
Sorry for hijacking the topic but if Anyone would have a single front piece of the original one for sale - please let me know.

I'm looking for used, original part. Maybe someone has it, waiting alone in the corner to become a part of a set? :)
