This gets brought up all the time but fender flares were never part of the plan.
We saw many similar comments with the spyshots/debut of the F90 M5.
It should be noted that traditionally, only the M3-esque-derived siblings/cousins received widened front and rear fenders (i.e., 1M, M2, M3, M4) vs. their Series brethren (and even then, there was one notable exception, the E36).
The M5, M6, X5 M, etc. generally do not get the same widened treatment as the smaller Ms.
Sometimes, exceptions happen; the front fenders of the E60 M5, for example, were ever so slightly wider than the E60 5er, but the difference in width was barely noticeable, so I wouldn't exactly call them fender flares.
That being said, it's quite unrealistic to expect an M5 or X3 M, in this case, to have widened fender flares.
