MODEL
E-Series
F90
Model Description
M5 Sedan
SITUATION
The air duct cover (fender mounted) may be loose or missing.
CAUSE
Prolonged high-speed driving can cause movements of the fender, causing the air duct to become loose.
CORRECTION
Replace the air duct cover along with air duct. Apply additional adhesive.
PROCEDURE
Note: Completely read these instructions before beginning. The adhesive application process must be
completed in approximately 7 minutes from start to finish due to its fast curing characteristics. Ensure all
materials are available before beginning.
For affected vehicles, this procedure should be followed on both sides.
1. Clean the fender in the area of the air duct mounting using a lint free cloth and cleaner R2 P/N 83 19 0 417 324.
Allow at least 2 minutes for the cleaner to dry.
2. Using adhesive tape, secure the new air duct and air duct cover as shown below.

additional instructions for this position.

clip(4) shown below. This is to ensure adequate bonding to the fender.
