Yeah because mine is blue black the mudflaps don't stick out too much... so you got yours painted body colour? Where? And how much, if you don't mind me asking. Would love to see pics.
They r mandatory to get the car registered or when u sell them. That is not to say you can't take them off during your ownership. The rear are mandatory not the front ones.

Got BMW to arrange them before I picked up the car and they charged me $300. Yes, ripped off but it still cheaper than my spending my time to get quotes when driving the car to the paint shop to get them painted. Bearing in mind $300 include the 33% LCT so that would make it worth about $230 which means you shuld be able to get them done directly by the painters for about $150 or less.

Here are couple of pics
