Fender rolled
I know that a lot of BMW Series 5 owners get their fenders rolled for oversized tires. You might want to go incogneto (dont tell them you have a MB) and ask your question on the www.bmwtips.com forum. You might get an answer faster there. People sit on that forum all day a work answering and asking questions in real time. I have noticed lots of questions from CA there.
Good Luck.

felt...
they put it on the inside of your doors where the window slot is to make sure that the tint doesn't scratch when the windows roll up and down. some shops don't even know this, but when it comes to good shops, they wont do a tint on a benz without it. oh and heads up, it cost about 35-50$ extra for the labor and felt.... worth having the stuff last though and not be all scratchy u know?

1)yes we use fender rolling tool.
2)We have heat gun but from experience its not needed. We can use it to make you feel better if you want.
3)it is not really a shop. You will see.
4)50$ = all 4.

$50 is damn cheap... and I was talking about Henry from the forum.... he explained to me what fender rolling is, and how it works.... because I'm clueless!!
About the heat gun... I don't know if you really need to use it or not, but I've seen pics where the paint cracked because of fender rolling... maybe these guys didn't know what they were doing...

The reason why you are suppose to use the heat gun is because the fender roller is suppose to roll the inside fender in 1 roll. I dont apply as much pressure and i let it go back and forth several times. Just to be safe i will use heat gun for ya. It's not really a problem.
