F25 M-sport mud flaps?

Has anyone found any good options for mud flaps for the F25 M-sport as the OEM mud flaps do not go with M-Sport?

thanks

LOL. That's what I was thinking, as it sounds a bit of an oxymoron... BMW probably intentionally did it that way so you wouldn't ruin the look of a beautiful M Sport X3 with mudflaps.

Valid question i think. I'm sure the regular mud guards will for the m sport. The mud guards listed in real OEM are not line specific. Look for uk owners as they tend to use them heavily on all cars

Not so much on newer cars. Old cars yes! In fact I have never noticed them on any new BMW recently and never on an X25.

I have them installed on a LCI Xline X3. I have seen them on M Sport but only the front. Not the back. Im not sure whether it was intentional or because they didn't fit the back since you have to buy the sets individually.

Just bumping this up, has anyone managed to get mudflaps for an M Sport? My local dealer says BMW don’t make them, however I found an old post by someone that fitted the non M Sport ones without too much hassle. Just curious if anyone else has done it, and if so any photos?

+1 for interest.

BMW calls them splash guards - the reason to install on a beautiful M sport car is to reduce the amount of spray, and the road grime that comes with it, that gets sent up onto the sides and rear of the car.

Especially if you have higher offset wheels...

I saw a pic of OEM splash guards a while back....they wrap around part of the wheel well. I didnt think it would look good on M-sport. I might look into fitting some universal splash guards one of these days.

Even if the stock ones would fit, they'd stand out like a sore thumb since they'd wrap over the colored M moldings, that is unless the vehicle was black, then they wouldn't be as noticeable. On a non M, they blend in well with the black trim. They do block a lot of dirt from getting on the side of the vehicle.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but at the end of the day they are mudguards, they are there to serve a purpose, not to look good. They aren’t something I’d ever considered before, but I washed the car at the weekend and noticed the paint has been chipped off the skirt behind the front wheel. I’d rather prevent it getting any worse!

Honestly, you could consider the universal "rally armor" flaps - they're thin and the black tends to disappear against the tires. Here's someone who put them on a white X1 M sport, I'm straining to even tell in the photos (except for rear low angle of course).

Second the Rally Armor flaps. I bought the generic kit for around $40 on Amazon and trimmed to fit the way I wanted. One upgrade I need to make is to replace the screws I used in a few spots with plastic rivets before winter sets in again. They are on the front too btw, they blend in nicely.
