Front mudguards on your M?

Sae · Post by **Sae** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 11:49 pm

Any folks running front mudguards on their M? With lowered springs?
I think OEM items are available but do they rub or foul on full lock?

The offset pushing wheels out means I'm getting a bit more spray than usual, water is ok but just thinking about potential stone/chips etc, wondering whether fitting these would be a good preventative measure.

Any feedback welcome, cheers

I've thought about this too, has anyone any pics of a car with flaps front and back?

From memory kermit1970 has them. Red coupe, not an ///M but makes no difference.

I've got them on my black M front and back. Don't even notice them.

They'll affect your aerodynamics so much that they'll knock 10mph off your top speed, add 1 second to your 0-60 time and increase your fuel consumption by 2mpg

No, no and No!

I've not had mudguards on any car since the mid 90's when they went out of fashion until I got a Micra recently which them fitted.

It's not something I'd ever add willingly as it seems to completely spoil the look of most decent cars.....

Mudguards on a Z4..

In my opinion those ugly things only have a purpose on trucks and rally cars. If you are so worried about potential stone/chips, maybe it's best to never drive the car and keep it in the garage

I don't like stone chips, dents or damages on my Z4M but IMO that are the trade offs when driving and enjoying the car.

With the benefit of pictures I have decided this is not for me.

I haven't liked mudguards since the delta integrales, however, I'd rather suffer a little ugg that have to deal with repainting side skirts and wings.

It's a black car, so don't think they'd stand out.

Was throwing it out there to see if anyone would recomends from practical standpoint, cheers for the replies so far

You think they would have cleaned the engine.
