Rear splash guards
Anyone has experience with these autotecknic ones? Would they provide any actual benefit?

I just reached out to Automotive Passion and they are in the process of making arch guards for the X3M. The guards they make are more in-line with what I'm looking for. Here are their guards for the G80 M3. |

I have them on my 2020 X3M. They do seem to actually work, but the figment isn't great in my opinion. They didn't curve the carbon fiber to match the wheel well correctly, so it leaves a bit of a gap in the center of the arch piece. I bought a bunch of AutoTechnik carbon pieces and was frankly not thrilled with the fit on most of them. They seem to get things about 90% right, but for the price they charge they should be 100%.

I opted not to use them as I think the gaps would get filled with snow and slush during the winter months.

Same here. I purchased a set of CF splash guards from this very same company for my OG 2017 M2. They fit & finish were much better then the Tommy L garage stuff.
These units will be the best you can find.

Reached out yesterday and Thomas from AP let me know that they did post the product for sale on their website here.
Their test vehicle is coming back in for pictures in around 10 days or so and he'll provide more details about the group buy for us. So hopefully we can get this moving by the end of the month. |
