E70 Mud Flaps
 

Has anyone installed mudflaps on their 07 X5 or have the install pdf? I'd like to install a set and avoid the minimum $110 per hour dealer fee. I'm hoping this is a DIY like most vehicles.

How did you go on this ? did you get the pdf or just follow the instructions posted on this site ? Thanks !!!

Got the install instructions with the flaps when I ordered them. Took about 30 minutes a set and if you have a angle drill, you don't have to remove the tires.

I'll chase my dealer unless you could possible scan yours and send to me ;) ? Also have you posted any pictures of teh mudflaps on ? Thanks

Sorry, got rid of the instructions after I installed the flaps. Really easy to do. Just make sure you get the correct flaps as there are different ones depending on wheel size and if you have running boards. There's a few holes to drill, and a couple of screws/plastic quick bolts to install. I'll get the camera out and post a picture.

MUDFLAPS, REAR, FRONT AND REAR VIEW
 

Here's the pics of the mudflaps. Extremely sturdy, match the vehicle perfectly. When you order, make sure to let them know your wheel size and if you have running boards. Good luck and let me know if you need more info. Joe

Are those 20" Wheels?

I just ordered a set from Circle Bmw in Jersey. The set of 4 ran me $99.20 plus $10.00 to ship.

Just make sure you order the correct part numbers. Like someone mentioned before, their are a few different part numbers depending upon you wheel size and if you have running boards.

I don't have the correct tools for the installation unless I take the wheels off. But I'll call my BMW advisor and see how much they will charge for the installation.

I did my fronts without taking the wheels off.. just turn the wheel to full lock depending on which side you are working on... backs were done by dealer prior to delivery .. they might be trickier to get the required clearance..

I had mine installed by the dealer...

Mudflaps
 

How do you remove the existing black plugs/clips under the wheel arch section. They seem to have no screw to remove.
You help is appreciated.

flat-head screwdriver... careful about scratching it though since you're keeping the existing flares... I did it as part of replacing with the new 20" wheel's flares which arch out (probably the reason they want to know the tire size). Oh and you'll need new rivets since after they are removed, they are unusable.

I fit mudflaps both back and front to my 3.0sd SE, fronts tool 15 mins each no need to take the wheel off, the rears 30 mins including taking the wheels off.

REmoval of existing black rivets where mudflaps go
 

How do you remove the existing black rivots where the mudflaps go oon the front?
Do the new mudflaps come with all hardware to secure them?
Thanks
