Mud Flaps or No Mud Flaps

BWilson263 · 01-21-2023, 02:39 AM

Just wondering how you all feel about mud flaps on your G30. I'm not sure if I like the look of mud flaps. I feel they are good for keeping behind the wheels of the body clean from chips and dirt getting on your vehicle. What are your thoughts?

Any thoughts ?????

Are you using wider than original wheels and / or tires? Are you using spacers?

Gravel driveway? Gravel roads in general?

If no, then I'd say no.

How about some PPF instead?

I have 12mm spacers in the front and 15mm spacers in the rear. I just had my car ceramic coated with the mud flaps on.

Btw just strapped on the winter wheels and tires.

I hope you are well!

Those flaps blend very well with the black paint.

I'd leave it just the way it is.

I'm generally not a fan of mud flaps bit those look good on your car. Do you find that they make a difference with dirt buildup behind the wheels?

They help mostly keeping tire dressing from getting on the car. I'm going to keep them on for now. If or when they break I will not replace them.

Not a fan of mud flaps but those look good on that car. Nice looking BMW.

Thanks... wasn't sure if I was going to keep them on. As for now I will or until they break or crack.

Fitted the OEM ones on mine, not exactly difficult, and used all the screws / nuts that hold the arch liner in place, so didnt use any of the the supplied bits.
They save me a fair bit of grief / road rash from the state of the roads here, especially shortly when they start applying 'repairs' to the road with liquid tar and gravel toppings.
Being honest, they are hardly noticeable and look part of the car.

I got to say, those mud flaps look really nice on your car. They go with the entire look of the car.
