I had just finished installing the front wheel when I saw in the '2016 Haynes Repair Manual' page 6-23 this picture:
View attachment Front axle spacer.bmp
The text underneath the picture said:
'15.7c Note the direction of fitting of the axle spacer in the hub left side'
According to the BMW parts fiche, the 16mm spacer with a lip is for the right side.
I had this spacer always installed on the right side with the lip pointing to the wheel with the lip under the dust seal.
I tried to put the spacer in, like in the picture, and it didn't look right to me.
Q: Which is the correct way to put the spacers in?
Thanks!
