2000-2006 BMW 3 Series E46 Duraflex Savala Front Fenders - 2 Pieces SKU: K2-7933-BMW-114-OFR


What the Part Is.

  • The part is Duraflex Savala front fenders, 2-piece set for the BMW E46 (3 Series) from 2000 to 2006.  
  • Part number: 118940 according to multiple sources.  
  • Material: FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) — these are not OEM steel; they’re lightweight but require proper prep.  
  • Finish: They come in a black primer / gel-coat finish, so you should plan to paint them.  
  • Duraflex claims a “proprietary polymer blend for maximum flexibility” and “reduced damage rate up to 75%” compared to traditional fiberglass.  
  • Installation: Because it’s FRP, you will likely need to dry-fit, drill, and do bodywork.  

Pros & Risks / Considerations

Pros:

  • Can give your E46 a more aggressive or custom look (Savala-style flares).
  • Lighter than OEM steel fenders, which could help slightly with weight.
  • Duraflex’s “flexible” FRP is more resilient than brittle fiberglass — less likely to crack under small impacts.

Risks / Downsides:

  • Fitment: Aftermarket FRP parts may not align perfectly — need to dry-fit and make adjustments.
  • Prep Work: Requires sanding, filling, and painting for a good finish.
  • Durability: While more flexible, FRP can still be less durable than metal under certain stresses.
  • Shipping & Import: If you’re in Malaysia, shipping FRP body panels can be expensive and risky.
  • Hardware: Mounting hardware may not come included — check with seller.

Recommendation

  • If you’re building a show / modified car (or want a unique look), these are a solid option.
  • But if you want durability and OEM-level fitment, also consider OEM steel fenders (or good-quality metal aftermarket).
  • Talk to a local body shop before ordering: show them the part pictures, confirm whether they can do the painting & fitting, and ask about import feasibility (duty, shipping).
