Mud flaps for 530d M sports
Guys, I have a g30 530d M sports with all carbon accessories fitting and I want mud flaps too because all of the dirts goes inside rear diffuser and side skirt blades.
But my service centre is saying that mud flaps are only available for cars without M kit. Can you guys please help? |

If I can piggy-back on this topic of G30 mud flaps, my Canadian BMW dealer's parts department tell me they can not find any OEM flaps for my 2019 M550i (no aero performance kit). I am not sure if that is really so in the States or in Europe as well.
Has anyone managed to get the right flaps for their G30 car, and if so, can you please share the BMW part number, or other identifier/source if it's not an OEM product. |

Last winter I installed a set on my M550i (I ordered them from Aliexpress). They didn't go all the way up the fender and left the "speed holes" clear so the grit and snow that they end up collecting can be flushed out.
I believe the issue with the M cars is that they are lower, so BMW doesn't recommend using the standard flaps. Of course both of my fronts ended up breaking after a few months from going over speed bumps at parking lot speeds or just from the weight of the ice and snow that builds up. The rears are fine and I'm using them again this winter. So this year I took things into my own hands and built my own for the front. First I made an aluminum bracket that uses three existing screws. Then I riveted a piece of soft rubber mud flap (cut out of one made for a semi) to the bracket. See pictures below. Maybe next year I'll see if I can make a section that goes higher to further protect the fender and door, while still allowing the air vents to be flushed out.
