if you did a search, you'd see that many prefer this version of the mudflap:

Yes, I installed them (front and rear) on my X5. I have 20' rims on a Msport and wanted maximum protection from stone chips etc. (hate paint chips). BMW tell you their mud flaps don't fit on Msport, however they do. See pictures below.

Yes... I have a thread buried called: painted mudflaps. I removed the rear ones as they were hideous. They had to be painted twice as the flaps are textured and sanding was not easy.

You like the flaps more than chips?

yes they told me too that they wouldn't fit my F85 but they do-I have them front and rear. Check out "Silverstone over mugello red"

Mud Flap X5 with M Sport Will this part # work

Hi,

BMW Part # 82162302402 / 82-16-2-302-402

I have these for the front but they don't seem to line up and wrap the lip of the trim. Is this just me? It looks like others say they will work.

This is a 2014 X5 F15 July build.

Thanks

I'm starting to get interested in adding flaps to my F15. Do these fit a '16 Luxury line X5?

Also, this may be a noob question, but are you getting the flaps painted by your dealer? How are you going about color matching the panels?

Fit is not an issue on Luxary line. M Sport does not technically have rear flaps, but they fit.

I had a local bodyshop paint the flaps. I had all four painted, lived with the rears for about 6 weeks. Finally, I could not take the hideous look and removed the rears. Front ones, painted, are still there. If you search painted mud flaps you should find the thread in which I discuss part numbers, paint, etc.

Does anyone actually take their 4WD car off road?

Within the first 25 miles of owning mine, I was taking 400 lbs of horse feed out to our two barns, through the pastures. No mud flaps touching mine though...

I have them on the front of my msport painted to match. I have the rear ones painted too, but haven't decided if I'm going to install them.

Real off-roading? No chance. Just the other day my friend was laughing at me because my X5 was scraping the snow on the ground where as this Jeep was just gliding through.

Now if you mean have I gone onto unpaved roads, then yeah of course. That's why I have these little chips all over the place.

Where did you purchase the mud flaps for the front? I have the lux line but I think the black would look ok.

Thanks!

Hi! I ordered them from the dealer's parts department. I told them "don't make me buy it online cheaper", and they responded that they will beat any price. I can't remember how much they cost anymore, but they were reasonable.
