Spending $200 on carbon fiber mud flaps is a little excessive IMO, unless your car is not your daily.

On daily's they will take a beating, especially if you are in a colder/snowy area as they will lose their finish over time, I'd just go with TLG's and call it a day.

The reason these have captured my interest is two fold. Reading the detail, they ship with Xpel ppf on the back side, and raptor liner on the business side. Seems these are built with longevity in mind.

For $200+ they better... I bet Aliexpress will have alternatives for $50. They might last half as long though, we will see.

I did, but I haven't seen them yet. Thyey're currently in production. Fortunately my procrastination resulted in a sale right after Christmas that had me pull the trigger.

I'll post an update once I recieve them and have a chance to install them.

Well heck, you had to wait until you actually got your car? lol. I'm curious on the mounting. It looks like the pictures on the sight are generic.
Thanks. Will be waiting for pictures.

Still waiting, unfortunately. The 2-4 week lead time has grown to 3 and a half months at this point. I will update on my entire experience if these things ever actually show up

I got a response from them after I filed a dispute with paypal. They tell me they are just getting ready to do the m240i batch and that they are only 3 weeks behind. . .

I don’t believe them at all. They seemed pretty happy to remind me that they had until 4/18 to provide a tracking number because of PayPal’s wait after opening a claim. So, I disputed the charge with my credit card company.

I've had enough. I disputed with my credit card company today. I'll post my email interactions with them when I'm back in front of a computer for all to see. I'm not even getting the same excuses as the other guy on this forum. 🤬

I ordered the carbon guards from AUTOID. At least I know they'll show up.
