"Mud flaps"

Has anyone installed mud flaps on their X3M that don't ruin the look? The spray up the side of the car is driving me crazy, feel like I need to wash it everyday.

Wouldn't be worried about the dirt, it's kicking up rocks and other debris that damages the paint

Yes, my X3 is at the dealership for a rear axle differential error. I asked them to check the bumper & they called to say that it had paint abrasion & that they'd fix it under warranty. I may have PPF installed around the affected area after that. I'm game for the mudflaps, too. They look decent on the car.
