Are there BMW OEM mudflaps available for the M or for that matter the M Sport Package? Anyone have a picture of them installed?

They specifically do not have a listing for X5M. However, I do know that the M and the DP (individual) rocker panels have the same shape in the front.

Type the word flaps in search box.

Quite obviously a design flaw!

Most of the damage occurred during the winter, however it just seems to get worse as the miles increase. The running boards on my previous X6 5.0 were much more durable. The rear doors on that vehicle had absolutely no damage at 7k miles? I don't believe the X6M has any wider body panels. Perhaps the 5.0 running boards were wider behind the front wheels keeping the stone splatter off the body?

Says the flaps are only for vehicles with 18 or 19 inch wheels. That rules out the M.

Maybe somebody on this board has an in with BMWNA and can start a dialogue on this issue?

BMWNA should be a little concerned about their customers trading in a $90k vehicle and going to the competitors over this issue, which seems to be very common.

I walked both my service advisor & the dealer GM out to the car & they both looked at me like I was crazy, despite the severe damage which was obvious even to someone who doesn't typically care about this stuff. Not an encouraging sign!

Point your dealer to this thread. I can PM the name of dealer who took the car back due to stone chips.
