Thanks man, the sealant stuff is a major pain, , there is really no easy way to remove it, i normally go at it with a
very sharp chisel and carve it out. takes a while but its safe on paint.
The only secret in rolling and pulling is to get a nice stock looking arc to the fender lip once you're done. once the lip is rolled flat, push the lip out evenly with the roller. match the angle of the roller wheel to the angle of the fender lip and push out slowly, otherwise you'll put a curl in the lip.
Its the same for all cars but, study the shape of the fender before you start, know what kind of pull you want and work the fender slowly to get there, too many people just go crazy with the roller and hope for the best.
The e36 normally rubs most near the back by the bumper. ( kinda between the 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock postions )
try to flair the arch more there and bring it in gradually near the front ( 3 o'clock position ). having said that, study the fender and you'll see that the top ( 12 o'clock ) will need to be the widest part of the fender when you're done.
Also, be realistic, don't be tempted to overdo it, that yellow M3 is pulled about as far as you want to go, any further and rippling the fender or even tearing it is a very real risk.
I've said it a million times, but its more art than science.
