Components designed to extend the width of a BMW F32 (4 Series Coupe) are aftermarket additions that alter the vehicle’s original body lines. These kits typically include wider fender flares, sometimes incorporating redesigned bumpers and side skirts, to accommodate larger wheels and tires and offer a more aggressive aesthetic. They are constructed from materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, or polyurethane.
The utilization of widened body panels enhances vehicle stability and handling, particularly when coupled with wider tires and adjusted suspension settings. This modification allows for increased tire contact patch, leading to improved grip during cornering and acceleration. Historically, such modifications have been employed in motorsports to maximize vehicle performance, and their application to road cars allows enthusiasts to emulate this performance-oriented style.
