I would like black/anthracite spacers with extended black bolts
There has been much mention of manufacturers e.g. H&R, Eibach + I've tripped over Turner Motor Sport, ECS Tuning & of course some on Ebay, but not much discussion about longer bolts (or is this so straight forward to the experts like you lot that it needs no explanation) or as to where to actually purchase
Any guidance would be much appreciated

The 15mm KW ones I had were black, I got my black extended bolts from turner motorsports in the US..

Apologies for dragging an old thread back to life but,

Umming and ahhing about getting some 12mm spacers for front and rear.

Just wondering, is fitting these going to open up the possibilty of the rear wheel arches getting battered by road crap getting thrown up from the front wheels?

On my GP the wheels sit to the edge of the arches and the rear arch trim gets battered, however, it's only plastic and less than 30 quid to replace!

Have been trouting t'internet for H&R spacers.

Can find extended bolts but not extended locking bolts, anyone any ideas?

Do we have any site sponsors that sell these? Struggle to search too much as only on phone at moment.

I'm switching to BBS LMs this summer, so have a set of 12mm spacers purchased for the rears to balance out the et difference. Have been informed that RAD in Germany are the business for locking/extended bolts, so going to give them a try

@pops note the CSL has rolled rear fenders from the factory.
So there is more space compared to a normal M3 E46

why not stand out from the crowd and leave it stock......yeah right oh.

Been faffing about with spacers for a while.

Best combination for me was 12mm H&R rears/15mm H&R fronts

You can run 15mm H&R all round but the rears can rub the inner arches during spirited driving depending on your rear geo settings.

Wheel stud conversion takes away all the messing about with extended bolts.
