If you lost a brake duct from your M3 this weekend, I’ve got it. It looks like it got drug under the a bit but is still in fine useable condition. Anyway let me know if it’s yours so I can get it back to you.

I just went and checked, indeed, I am missing a brake duct. It has been known to come out so I think it is probably mine.

Wouldn't be as big of a problem if you just didn't hit cones :D

This is true. I need to work on that. I hit two and my co driver hit three I think.

You can hit cones, just don't hit them in front. At least that's what I've heard.

Zip ties worked wonders on the brake ducts on the E30. Just drill a couple little holes where they need to be and thread a long thin zip tie through and they'll stay put :D

The problem is more than likely that you have broken or missing "pork chops". See this link for a pic. I replaced my fender liners and chops and haven't had a problem since.

You are correct. I am missing almost everything under there. I really should replace everything as a unit. (Fender liners, pork chops, under planel, ducts). Thanks for the link, it has been bookmarked for further review.
