After Body Repairs To The Vehicle
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
All the folding roof components screwed/bolted to the body are precisely screwed/bolted to the vehicle at the factory by means of gauges. This affects above all the base plates and mounting brackets of the roof and rear end modules. To minimize extensive adjustment work after a body repair as much as possible, only remove those components which are screwed/bolted to a damaged body part.
- Gauge the base plates only after a body repair to the cowl panel.
