I took two Tahoe trips with the X5 this year. There was lots of gravel, especially during the cold period in early Jan (0 to -20F). I have mud flaps / mudguards on all fours. Still, I got one tiny chip on one side. Otherwise, without flaps, I would have had the same.
They are ugly, especially in the rear (which works on m sport, though catalog says not), but they do the job.
sidenote....going to Tahoe, at least with the diesel, whether in Comfort or Sport, it is always in the right gear and the climb is truly effortless.
