Question Another mud flap thread. Which ones to get?

Hey everyone,

I am going through the forum posts regarding mudflaps for the F97, found all these:

https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...4#post24362334

https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...t=x3+mud+flaps

especially this one which has tons of pics of those old ebay flaps

https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...4#post24362334

Unfortunately the threads are old(ish) and the flaps referenced in them point to an ebay item that no longer exists. So the only ones I see there are these three, and left wondering if these are like the older ones referenced in the threads above. Not sure which ones to order, hoping someone can chime in if you have bought any of these

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284324954372

https://www.ebay.com/itm/225112181969

https://www.ebay.com/itm/264386013551

I am having PPF install partially on the lower part of the fenders to protect the splash from the tires, but that wont protect as much against rocks or other hard matter.

Suggestion/comments are always appreciated.

Thanks

This is disconcerting. I decided not to ppf and just go with splash guards. Hope I don't regret that decision.

Check out Post #48 in my thread.

I have pics posted of the auction so you can take a look at the design vs. the ones you are getting.

The big thing is the front fitment - you need to get the "M-Sport" model rather than the regular X3. Apparently it has the same contours as the X3M.
