Ask & you shall receive. Not the best photo but you get the point. Simply lighten this photo up if you need to more contrast down there...

Nice, thank you! Looks nice and not too distracting from everything else.

How well do you guys find them working in keeping the car cleaner?

I installed tommy l garage flaps on mine. Meant for an X4 so I had to drill another hole in back but happy for the protection it gives and it’s barely noticeable from most angles

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 03-19-2021, 04:44 PM

Gsavarese - Where did you get those... ?

I've seen hi before with his F80 M3. The flaps look nice & minimalistic. But only having 2 contact points for the rear doesn't look as secure as I was hoping they might be.

If you look way back in your rear wheel well behind the wheel you’ll see another bolt. I drilled a hole in the flap for the 3rd contact point. Pretty sturdy.

Thanks to the TS for this. Picked up these ebay splash guards for $35 and I love them.

spta97 · 03-26-2021, 09:45 PM

Looks great with the blue!

I love mine as well.

Marmugmotleocay · 04-03-2021, 01:38 PM

The Ebay splash guards just came today. My X3MC still hasn't been delivered but Im getting stuff ready. It should hopefully be delivered to the Dealer in 2 weeks.

If you use the washer screws instead of rivets, what exactly are you screwing into?

I have a picture in my original post. I forget the technical name but they are fender clips with holes.

They clip onto the liner and you screw into them.

napeHbNYC · 03-18-2022, 05:52 PM

Did anybody put these on the white car yet? I do like the idea as every time after wash the tire shine is all over the car but don’t know how it will look on the white one.

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 04-30-2022, 03:56 AM

I may have IND paint mine to color match the body paint. Wonder how much they might charge though!

That would be awesome! But I’m thinking there will be a lot of zeros in the price tag

Marmugmotleocay · 04-30-2022, 07:40 PM

I bought these right after I ordered my 21 X3MC. They have been sitting in the basement since March of 2021. Im just not sure if they would look good on Donnington.

Only one way to find out

lagunablue1 · 05-03-2022, 10:30 AM

I also have a BNIB set I purchased for my X3M if anyone here is looking for some (would prefer local sale but might ship).

Ended up going with the TLG ones as well.

PabstBleuRibbon · 05-03-2022, 11:44 AM

Installed these over the weekend, pretty good for ebay!

Wow, you have a garage lift & you live in Oakland. I need to sync up with you one of these days to work on my X3 M.

The mud flaps tie in with the other black trim pieces on the X3 - looks great!

Although mine spends most of its life in the garage, they have held up well.

Does anyone know an alternate seller for these, confirmed to be the same? eBay seller quoted in this thread is no longer active or selling these.
