M8 Side Vents on M850
I know it was asked somewhere in this forum but are they interchangeable...has anyone found this out yet?

If I remember correctly the consensus in the previous discussion was that the m8 vents were larger than the m850i vents so most thought (assume?) that they would not fit. But I don't think anyone had a definitive answer based on someone actually physically trying it out.

Upon closer inspection of an M8 fender it looks like the black plastic insert for lack of better words fits flush with the sheet metal along the forward edge, so I would imagine the cutout in the fender is larger/different in the M8.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of, but if I'd paid the extra freight for an M8 vs the M850 I'd be glad they're different

The entire front fender is different.
edit - I'm bored waiting for traffic to clear on a Friday afternoon check out the flat area just to the side of the headlight in the M8 compared to the M850i as well as the extra line or seam above the wheel. Go to the configurator (I used bmw.de, not usa) spec the same colour in two different windows and alt-tab between them to see the difference. Side by side it doesn't look that different but if you alt-tab you'll see a huge difference.
