What do you guys think. Good quality, easy install and they look nice.

It looks alright. Too big for my taste but I bet it definitely serves its purpose!

Plus, that logo looks like rockstar games 😆

I'm not a big fan of using splash guards, but if I have to do it, I would choose something like this, which comes in different sizes: https://eibachshop.com/index.php?p43...-guards-l-size

These are interesting.

I noticed the the tires push a lot of little stones and dirt into body, I can heat it in wheel wells. I like the idea of guards but I don't like mud flap style.

jrveron, do you have any pictures of those installed on any X3 m40i?

Do you know if those eibach's^ are like the little guards that Audi uses on some of its performance cars?

I'm afraid not, although if you search for it on Google, you will find some examples of similar SUVs or other BMWs, like the one ContactPatch pasted above.

I guess the tricky part is to know where to install it on the wheel arc.

Nope.....mud flaps are "non-starters" for me. I've never had paint damage from anything flying up from the rear wheels. Anything that's kicked up by my rear tires wind up on the small black plastic portion of the lower rear panel.

I went to their website after reading your post, since I've been looking for something to keep the crap off the sides. They do make 2 sizes, a "mud guard" which is larger, and a smaller version called the "splash guard."

Ordered a set of the splash guards on 3/25 at 5:00 PM PDT, they shipped this morning from UT, and will be here on Thursday!

Please post pictures as well. I didn’t even see that option when I purchased mine 🧐. It may be better fit for people that don’t want the extra large rally style mudflaps.

Finally had some time to install the "splash guard" version.

Difficulty
Front: 1 out of 10. Super easy, just turn the wheels to gain clearance.
Rear: 2 out of 10 if you have low-profile tools, 3 out of 10 if you have to remove the wheel.

Install is very easy and fast. As I had low-profile tools available to drive the rear Phillips screws, I didn't remove the rear wheels. I don't think removing the wheels will save any time, but if you can't get a driver in there to install the screws, then you have to remove the rear wheels.


Overall very happy with the look. I've got them pushed in as far as they'll go for now, and I'll see how they work. Might pull them out a little later, but they'll only shift maybe 3/8".

The small profile looks great too. So far the large profile has been very nice while driving. No grime or anything from the road when it rains on the car itself.
