C63, BMW E46 M3
Material Lining Inner rear wells
Hello everyone, I am a new owner of an Artic white 09 C63, LSD, AMG leather, Multimedia Pkg, Speed Delimiter. My question is the material that is lining the inside of the rear wheel wells(arches) seems to be made of a thick black felt type material. Is this the norm or did the factory forget to install another cover. I own an E46 M3 and the material they is plastic/rubber, actually any other car I have owned/driven has this or just metal. Why would AMG use this material, it doesn't seem like it would hold up to time and the elements very long.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yeah it's normal, my Audi has it too, and I think more and more new cars are doing it. I assume it helps silence rocks and stones thrown up in the wheel well. And btw, it holds up very well, better than the plastic lining that looks worn in very short order.
