Some work today!
Installed the G01 x3 mud flaps. And BMW had to replace the trim piece under the roof spoiler.

BMW to my knowledge doesn't offer OEM splash guards for the M40i or X3M. Are those the regular X3 mud flaps or the aftermarket M40i ones from Ebay/Amazon?

Doesn't hurt that they appear almost color matched to your body too. I wonder what they would look like with more contrast like on donnington... Hmmmmm..

I went the eBay route because the threads say they don’t fit but they look like they do in the OP’s |

But for this forum board, (X3M specific) it doesn't really matter, both your and my option fit. |

I read many threads stating the G01 will not fit the msport bumper which I believe the M40i has. Looks great on yours as well! I put PPF under mine as I’ve had these types wear away the paint. PPF was already on the front but I did a stop in the back. |

Yes you can make the BMW OEM ones fit but another member has commented that over time dirt and grim get in behind them as they aren't a "matched fit" and scratch the paintwork. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy you're happy with them but members need to be aware there are down sides to using the BMW OEM ones as they are designed for the standard bumper... |

The fronts need a slight trimming and also fit damn good. Way too much FUD here. |
