Mudflaps, I think they look good. That truck/suv looks pretty agressive and I think the mudflaps add to the look.

But I do think they could be like an 1" to an 1.5" shorter.

My first thought without reading was "why did he post each picture twice". Then I read and saw there was mudflaps installed.


Leave them on there. It's a daily driver SUV, not a once a month Ferrari (or S2000 ). They look fine, they fit good, they're functional, etc etc. You'll thank yourself later on.

lol, I actually had to look twice to figure out why you had the same pics side by side. these particular mudflaps are barely noticeable. I say leave them on if they actually make a difference

After seeing the pics, flaps look fine. This is a truck after all.

My brother in law has mudflaps on his x5 and it doesn't have any paint chips so it must serve a good purpose. Keep the flaps

Does BMW make a matching set for the rear? If so, I'd go with all 4. FWIW it cost me like $400 to get 3M done on the rockers, lower doors and behind all 4 wheels on the Z06. There's a 3M installer in the Greenbrier area who does good work.

Trimming the mudflaps would be.... interesting.

There's no set for the rear, (I think due to how the rear flares arch out)

Waiting for one of the X5M guys to take a pic of his 3M laminate with sandblasting damage...

Nice that they're in MD too.... UPS ground = overnight for the most part. Those guys rock.
