I was considering this for xLine not the flares on M or wide tires.
I love the overall look of xLine, with all those added brushed chrome look (not shiny chrome like luxury line) but I was hoping we could get the arches painted. |

I don't know if you noticed, but the black arches flow with the black lower front bumper and the black rear bumper. If you paint the arches, it will look awkward unless you get those parts painted as well to match. Just my 2 cents.

IF you really want to match the paint you have to do the entire trim line from front bumper, wheel arches, side skirts, and rear bumpers. Should be an easy job to any decent body shop out there. |

As for painted bumpers and trim, I don't think that's an issue. Luxury line comes with arches painted but bumpers are not painted and it looks just fine or maybe because I didn't really watch for it when I saw it in person but I am pretty sure BMW website shows the arches painted, but rest is just black plastic.

I think it would be easier to just paint them without trying to remove the existing ones, and then just swap them. |

Just got the primed fender flare in for one of the forum member order.
I forget to take a picture before packing them for shipping.

Agreed. I always noticed that on the previous gen as well. Looked more masculine.
