$85 OEM M-Aero Sideskirts...

alpine003 · 09-20-2010, 12:09 AM

I've always wanted this on my Touring but never got around to it until these somehow got reduced all the way down to $85. At that price, I had to get off my lazy arse and hit the buy button. These were optional on most of the '99-'00 models as part of the m-aero package and personally I preferred this over the Mtech2 skirts. I was also considering the M3 skirts but would've required some modificaton for Sedan/Touring models. These definitely extend the rockers down more and curve less than the mtech2 or stock sideskirts. I feel this gives it that "Foose" styling where you know something is different and at the same time looks a bit more aggressive but you can't pinpoint what it is exactly. That's the beauty of these as they blend in pretty well to the car overall imo.

Cliff's Notes:
- $85 OEM M-Aero Sideskirts for Sedan/Touring from Tischer. Yes this is for the pair and comes with all mounting hardware
- Install is less than 15 min per side
- Factory OEM so it is Urethane
- Part #: 82659410897

Onto the pics(Warning: Winter stance in effect(raised 1.3")

Also got another Recaro for upcoming baby #2:

Nice deal. I can not really tell from your pics but are they the same as Opt1mus's sides?

Edit: They are the same! I am thinking about fitting this aerokit to my 01 touring.

looks great - love the color

Bartacus · 09-20-2010, 08:16 PM

Are those skirts lower than the OEM ones? I'm looking for an excuse to dump my Rieger vented skirts since they're just too damn low!

They are lower than the factory.

I wonder what the whole aerokit is going for from them?

They aren't really lower(same mounting points as stock sideskirts with no underhang) but since these sit more flush with less curvature, they look lower visually.

Whole aerokit for Sedan is slightly over $300(ECS Tuning) and not available for Touring that I can find but I don't really like the Sedan front/rear. The sides are the best part.

Thanks for everyone's compliments.

simsima325 · 09-21-2010, 01:07 PM

Activ3 · 09-21-2010, 07:59 PM

Nice! I have the same sides, and the front is actually quite a bit lower than the rest of it. I've actually torn and scraped mine quite a bit.

This kit is available for the wagon. Part# 51 19 0 007 000. JWM5 and Opt1mus have the sides and rear skirt. Bavauto sells the kit (front, sides, and rear) for 232.95. I am thinking of picking it up since everyone is going M-tech II.

My mistake, the sedan full kit is $190 at ECS Tuning and Touring kit is $227 from them. Besides having a great experience with ECS, I'm all for supporting board sponsors.

so the part # you posted fits my sedan ?

No problem, yeah I figured if you're going to have a sig pic show it at it's best
