The fender extender on my 2012 TC was fitted by the supplying BMW Dealer, it hasn't got "BMW" stamped on it.

It wouldn't have.  BMW don't make them or approve any.  Looking at the profile of yours I would think its a Pyramid.

That looks sharp, RTMan, I am ordering the same thing for my bike, about $34 online US price.  Who cares about a drilling a couple holes in the plastic fender, I don't see how that diminishes the value of the bike.

Guys we are bitching about a fender extender, both do the job, one you drill holes the other you don't. I don't think anyone said drilling holes would devalue your bike. Get a grip, who cares what anyone fits to their own bike. Make your own decision its your bike.

RTMan - I received my Fenda Extenda in the mail today.  Curious if you removed the factory fender during the installation process, per the instructions, or leave attached?  I wasn't sure if I can get the fender off without removing the front tire, did not want to go to all that hassle.  tia, Tim

No left it on.  Just put a piece of wood between it and the tyre when you drill.

Same here
Works like a charm
I actually used a couple small screws with acorn nuts on inside, magic marker made the screw heads match extender in color
Nothing wrong with machine art Moto product, pyramid was cheaper and works as well👍
