Macht Schnell fitment issues

Hey gang,

Got a pair of 12 and 10mm and currently at the tire shop to get them installed.

They are not a firm fit as spacers should be. Tire guys are farm from impressed and asked what is that chinese crap? Told me the only way to center fit them is to roll some sort of paper tape.

I am far from pleased too. Anyone else experienced this!?

Part numbers for the spacers are 89.10.010 and 89.10.012

My spacers (10s all around) fit perfectly. I'd exchange them for a new set.

+1. No issues with mine. Worked perfectly - nice snug fit.

Where did you order them from? Any chance you got a cheap knock-off instead of the real thing? I've never heard anyone having fitment issues like you're describing with Macht Schnell.

Got them from IND, the fitment was definitely not snug. A layer of paper tape in the back and a layer and half in front to make them snug.

They are on the car now, but I am very disappointed for the price paid. Had H&R on my E93 335i for 3 years and they were perfect.

Shipping back the 2 pairs would have been very expensive

Nate took care of this. While I am very disappointed with this issue, I am very happy with the customer service from IND. Thumbs up for an awesome vendor.

IND has IMPECCABLE service as evidenced here. You had a strange and unusual problem my friend. Never heard the first complaint about Macht Schnell. I would worry more about any installer using paper to rectify the issue on an F10. I have them on my F12 along with H&R and they are flwaless.
