My guess is that the purists will not approve but I just added OEM mud flaps to my black ti sport and I think it looks pretty good. Sort of completes the body side skirts . Any opinions..?  |  |  | | 08-29-2006, 01:36 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |

i think they look good on black cars becasue they are black. any other color i think they need to be painted to match. but hook it up with some pics. __________________

mud flaps look crap, unless your driving on rocky surfaces or lots of dirt then why bother | | | | | 08-29-2006, 01:53 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: SoCal Posts: 549 |

I have mud flaps. They came with the car, but I think the look fine.
I really don't even notice them unless I scrape against a curb. __________________ ...steven

if it keeps my car clean I will get them, but they are not on my to buy list. | | | | | 08-29-2006, 03:04 PM | #12 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Calgary, Alberta Posts: 89 |  I had mudflaps
When I got my car 2 1/2 years ago there were mudflaps on 3 out of 4 wheels. By the end of the winter I was down to 2 out of 4. When it is cold (-25 celcius cold) they tend to break off when they drag on anything. I like the look of them and they fit well. I took the remaining bits off last time I change to summer tires. I will probably replace them this winter. Help keep the car clean. | | | | | 11-30-2006, 08:22 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I got a call from Circle BMW yesterday, they said the mud flaps are no longer available.  Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti  I have mud flaps. They came with the car, but I think the look fine.

I don't think they look bad but I would hate to have them get in the way of busting out on hapless tailgaters with a nice rooster tail of snow and slush this winter. Sometimes you can really get a good blast going -- flaps would ruin that. | | | | | 11-30-2006, 08:53 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
