Rear disc protection plate

Post by flybobbie » Tue Mar 21, 2023 9:18 am

Anyone one know of cheap replacement, BMW £75 each.
The E85 are £20 each.
Anyone know if E85's can be made to fit.

Plenty of after market front, they are alloy don't corrode much, but rears are steel and rotting away.

Plates really need the hub bearing off as they slip over the shaft, another stupid design unlike the fronts.
So will have to cut off, then cut new, sort of horse shoe shape to get back on.

You could have got new ones from Autodoc for £10…

Don't do rears for E89.
E85 come out at about £30 plus with postage.
