I've been eyeing these too for my carbon black. Only hesitation is they look almost too small to provide any real protection. Will be curious to hear how they work out for you. Would prefer these over the eBay ones that have been posted recently

I liked how they look more than anything if I'm honest. Fitted nice and smoothly plus I do not do eBay items! Unless they coming from a certified manufacturer or a brand that I know or heard of

This is how it supposed to be.
You got it upside down.

Do these offer any protection at all?

I’ve got the eBay ones and from the splash patterns on them the rocks would be hitting the bottom of the bumper behind the tire

This item is made based on BMW original part that's standard on certain market. I believe it was European and some Asian market.

So, I would assume it works, since BMW designed it.

AutoTecknic just used the same design and made it in Carbon Fiber.

There was/is a thread about this in the G1 forum. This part is not a splash guard. It is a plastic part in foreign markets due to regulations that the fender must extend past the wheel. It serves no actual purpose beyond that and many people in those markets remove them as a first mod.

Thank you for chiming in.

That makes more sense rather than some BMW physics which was beyond my comprehension.

Not sure if it’s a federal law, but tires cannot extend beyond the fender where I am.
