can't get front Mud Flaps for 135i

Si-M240i · 02-12-2009, 01:49 AM

Why is it that I can get rear Mud Flaps but not front ones for the 135i. I have seen a picture on here of a 135i in the USA who was able to get them from a dealer, but in the UK they say the part isn't made ?

They are available, although realoem doesn't show them.

82160309650 1 Series Mud Flaps [ Front ]

82160430733 1 Series Mud Flaps [ Rear ]

Are the fronts a different part number to the usual Fronts for the coupe as those ones dont fit due to the bumper being a different shape on the 135i ?

Does that mean I can't order them through BMW if they don't list the part ?

The bumper has no bearing, as they fit on the fender. They fit on all 128/135's coupes and convertibles. You don't have to take the wheels off, although you have to jack the car up.

...and you dont have to jack the car up either (do a search for my DIY)

True - but several of those fasteners will be hard to get at if you don't. If you can jack it up - much easier. Even better - up on a hoist.

Cheers for the help. I have ordered the bits from BMW and booked it in for them to fit it along with the Quick shift next month. I managed to order the quick shift bits separatly without the boot and knob and saved some money, as I want to keep the "stock" M branded gear knob and gaiter.

I may get the carbon fibre Boot Spoiler and Wing mirrors next. I would love to get the CF rear diffuser, but its sooooo expensive
